Parent members must be nominated by a member of the school, and voted on by the school parent community. Re-elections for the parent member positions are held every three years. The staff board member is nominated and elected by the staff of the school; the student board member is nominated and elected by the students of the school.

Currently we have three casual vacancies, two of which arose from an administrative compliance issue that caught us by surprise. We were exceedingly sorry to farewell these board members, but are committed to maintaining high standards of governance. The board has elected to fill the vacancies via selection and the outgoing Board members who have made a valuable commitment to our board will be considered for reselection.Â
