MCS SCHOOL BOARD
The School Board, of which the Proprietor is an integral member, is the governing body of the kura (school). You are always welcome to attend any meeting. Venue and dates are in the kura (school) newsletters. As a School Board, we consider ourselves to be Jesus’ servants, working for you, the whānau (family) community, to support the staff to provide a truly Christian education for our tamariki (children).
While much of what it does happens behind the scenes, the School Board has an essential role in the life and operation of the kura (school). The School Board on its own or through its Chief Executive, the Principal:
- Creates and enacts policy
- Employs staff
- Oversees the financial management of the kura (school)
- Ensures the kura (school) is safe for ākonga (students) and employees
- Monitors performance
- Sets strategic direction
A more detailed explanation of the mahi (work) of a kura (school) board can be found here.
You can contact the School Board about any matter of concern by email* or by writing to the School Board via the kura (school). Please do not hesitate to provide feedback and ideas* as our aim is to connect and inform.
