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)
