The functions of the school board include taking part in:

  • establishing and reviewing, from time to time, the school’s objectives, priorities and general policy directions;
  • the planning of financial arrangements necessary to fund those objectives, priorities and directions;
  • evaluating the school’s performance in achieving them;
  • promoting the school in the community;
  • determining, in consultation with students, their parents and staff, a dress code for students when they are attending or representing the school
  • formulating codes of conduct for students at the school.

The functions also include approving:

  • contributions and charges for the provision of certain materials, services and facilities;
