The Mataroa School Board 

The board is entrusted to work on behalf of all stakeholders and is accountable for the school's performance. It emphasises strategic leadership, sets the vision for the school, and ensures that it complies with legal and policy requirements. Policies are at governance level and outline clear delegations to the principal. 

The board and principal form the leadership team with the role of each documented and understood. The principal reports to the board as a whole, with committees used sparingly and only when a need is identified in order to contribute to board work. 

The board is proactive rather than reactive in its operations and decision making and does not involve itself in the administrative details of the day to day running of the school. The board is encouraged to ask the right questions. Enhancing student achievement is its focus.
