Reporting to the Board 

The principal reports to the board as a whole and keeps it informed of the true and accurate position of the outcomes of curriculum; teaching and learning; financial position; and all matters having real or potential legal considerations and risk for our school. Thus the board is supported in its strategic decision-making and risk management by also requiring the principal to submit any monitoring data required in a timely, accurate and understandable fashion. Therefore, the principal must ensure that they:

1. inform the board of significant trends, implications of board decisions, issues arising from policy matters or changes in the basic assumptions upon which the board’s strategic aims are based.

2. submit written reports covering the following:  Strategic Aim,  Personnel, Finance ,  Student Progress and Achievement and  Curriculum as appropriate

3. inform the board in a timely manner of any significant changes in staffing, programmes, plans or processes that are under consideration

6. report on the number of stand-downs, suspensions, exclusions and expulsions on a per meeting basis
