Our Board of Trustees
What is our job?
The Board of Trustees’ role is to “govern” the school. Our main job is to set the strategic or “big picture” direction and plans for our school, as laid out in the Charter. Our role is also to set up and operate a policy framework to help best achieve our goals for student learning and achievement. Students, and their learning are our main focus!
We do this after consulting with the Pyes Pa School community, including students, parents / caregivers, staff, and other interested people.
It is our job to make sure that we help create the best possible environment for our students to achieve their potential. We are responsible for the school finances, staff, property, health and safety, and policies and procedures.
We delegate the responsibility of running the school on a day to day basis to our Principal - it is her role to manage the school to achieve its goals, according to Board policy.
How can you contribute?
Please do complete the school surveys that come out now and then, or contact a Board member anytime through the school office

- Have your say! In the best interests of our children, it is important that you, as parents / caregivers, contribute to developing our school plans and policies. This is so they reflect the wishes of our whole school community – we look forward to hearing your views!
