Mosman Park Primary School Board
Roles and Responsibilities of a School Board
A School Board is a legally formed body. The role of a School Council (Board) is outlined in the Education Act 1999 and, in essence, its role is one of setting the long-term future for the school and maintaining oversight (not management) of the implementation of the school Business Plan. It is not about running the school – that is the job of the Principal – but rather, about providing additional expertise to help the school achieve the best outcomes for students.
Independent Public School (IPS) Board functions are consistent with the legislative role of a School Council.
