School Board

Students playing on oval

Each government school in the ACT is administered by a school board whose membership comprises the school principal, two elected staff members, three elected members of the parent body and a nominee of the Education Directorate. Elected members normally serve for a two year period.

The Board is the policy making body of the school. Its major functions are to:

determine the educational policies to be implemented at the school
assess, from time to time, the needs of the school in relation to the provision of buildings and facilities, equipment, funds and teachers and other staff, and make recommendations to the Director General of the Education Directorate with respect to the meeting of those needs
determine the purposes for which funds made available for the School are to be expended
make recommendations to the Director General in respect of the use of the buildings, facilities and equipment of the school for purposes other than school purposes
develop relationships between the school and the community and between the school and community organisations
make recommendations to the Director General on matters relating to the school.

Responsibility for the implementation of policies and guidelines established by the Board rests with the Principal and staff.

The Turner School Board generally meets the second Wednesday of the month. The parent representative members write a comprehensive report of Board discussions in the school newsletter.
