Governance
Board of Management, Catholic Special Schools
The Catholic Special Schools Board of Management performs a very important oversight and advisory role to the two Catholic Special Schools (St Patrick’s Special School and Our Lady of La Vang).
In practice this means that, in a spirit of partnership, the Board acts to:
- develop policies that nurture the religious dimension and guide the direction of the schools
- develop the relationship between the schools themselves and between the schools and the local Church
- promote educational excellence
- support the administration of the schools
- foster harmonious and positive collaboration within the school community
- protect children
- monitor buildings and grounds development and maintenance
- exercise financial stewardship
- ensure compliance with legal obligations.
The Board of Management is comprised of eleven members:
- Five members nominated by the Director of Catholic Education South Australia
- The Principals of the Catholic Special Schools
- Two staff members (one from each school)
- Two parents of current students (one from each school)
