Board of Trustees

The role of the Board of Trustees is governance.

Best practice governance is not just about following the laws, rules and codes, it’s about adding value to an organisation. It is about leadership; it’s about direction; it’s about vision and strategic goals (what the organisation seeks to be and to achieve); it’s about ensuring the organisation is well managed, well prepared and on track to its vision and strategic goals. Best practice governance concentrates on the future, on strategy and performance whilst ensuring all fiduciary and compliance requirements are met.

Best practice boards continually stretch themselves and their organisations. Setting high standards and clear expectations around achievement, monitoring of progress towards targets, self review, accountability, professional development and adopting a climate of continuous improvement, are all marks of a highly effectively and elevating board.

Makarewa School Board of Trustees consists of five elected parent trustees, an elected staff trustee, and the Principal.
