School Board

Woodvale Primary School

The School Board is a body of people dedicated to helping the school achieve the best educational experience and outcomes for our students.

The School Board has several key governance roles including:

  • Taking part in the development of the school's general directions, financial planning, evaluating the school's performance, formulating codes of conduct, and taking part in selection of staff with approval of the Director of Education;
  • Approving charges, costs, contributions, personal items lists and sponsorship agreements;
  • Determining a dress code in consultation with the community;
  • Providing advice to the principal on general policy regarding instruction involving religious, spiritual or moral values to students;
  • Promoting the school in the community. 

The School Board does NOT take part in any day-to-day management of the school or its staff. For example, it cannot:

  • intervene in the control or management of a school;
  • intervene in the educational instruction of students;
  • exercise authority over teaching staff or other persons employed at the school; or
  • intervene in the management or operation of a school fund.

The School Board consists of staff and parent representatives, with the majority being parents. We are also able to co-opt members of the local business and community if their skills or experience  would benefit the Board.

We meet six-eight times per year and members are elected for a three-year term. When parent representative positions become available, calls for nominations are are advertised through a public notice on Connect, the website and direct message. For a staff member position, the announcement is made via email and at a staff meeting. Elections are held, with parents electing the parent representative and staff choosing their representative.
