School Board

Hawker College Board

School boards work in partnership with the principal and school communities. They have specific responsibility for endorsing and overseeing the strategic direction and priorities of the school; monitoring and reviewing school performance; developing, maintaining and reviewing curriculum; and approving budgets for the effective use of school resources; and management of financial risk.

School boards provide robust forward-thinking governance at the local level to ensure that schools meet the present and future needs of their school community. School boards are supported by the Education Directorate (the Directorate) to ensure that their responsibilities are fulfilled effectively.

The composition of the Hawker College school board comprises of the school principal, two student members, three parents and citizens members, two staff members, an Appointed Member (based on an expression of interest process) and Board Appointed Members (if any).

All members share responsibility for the board’s performance and the fulfilment of its obligations. Certain roles have additional responsibilities. The Director-General and the Directorate also have responsibilities that support school boards to perform their functions.

The Hawker College school board meets once per school term throughout the year to perform its functions and to meet its obligations.
