The Board meets once a month (or at least once a term) to discuss the running of the school and to discharge  its legal and mandatory requirements as a Board.

An Agenda is drawn up by the Chairperson and the Principal, and members are free to submit items for the Agenda ten days before the next meeting.  This allows time for items on the Agenda to be prioritised and timed.

At the end of each meeting, those that should be reported to teachers, staff and /or parents are noted and the relevant communication is decided upon.
