Lichfield School Staffroom

The Board of Trustees is the governing body of the school. It is comprised of the following members:

Up to five elected parent representatives
One elected staff representative
Principal
Any co-opted members in addition

All board minutes of meetings are available for viewing in the school office. The Board normally holds eight meetings per year. The Board are entrusted with governance of the school. The Principal is the day to day manager of the school and is the professional leader of the school.

The Board decides, through consultation with staff and community, which direction the school will take and how Government requirements will be met. This is documented in the school charter.
