Therefore the Board has the Governance role and the day to day management responsibility is that of the Principal.
Aparima Board of Trustees contains 5 elected parent representatives, 1 elected staff representative, 1 elected student representative and the Principal. The Board has the power to co opt should they require a member for a particular task and period.
The term for the parental/staff representative is 3 years and the next election will be 2007.
The student representative is for a 1 year period.
There is training and support offered to Board members so that what may appear as a daunting task is not.
The Board meets once a month and these dates can be found on the calendar ( which can be found here...) |
