Welcome to the Board of Trustees

As a Catholic school, Marian School has been established to carry out the Church's mission. The Board of Trustees, via the school network, endeavours to provide a Catholic Faith environment which enables young people to develop the attitudes, knowledge and skills to become active and committed members of the faith community and to contribute positively to the world community.

The Marian Catholic School Board of Trustees exists to perform the following:

to exercise general leadership of and supervision over the operation of the school at a governance level
to see to the employment of teachers and staff
to provide for the school's material needs from the funds allocated by Government and from funds received from other sources
to operate according to statutory and regulatory requirements
to carry out all of the above in such a way that reflects our school's Catholic character.

Our Board of Trustees is made up of the School Principal who is the Chief Executive of the Board, one elected Teacher Representative, six elected Parent Representatives and four Proprietor's Representatives. The Proprietor's Representatives are appointed by the Bishop who is the Proprietor of Marian School. The Board is sub-divided into four committees: the Staffing and Children's Welfare Committee, the Policy Committee, the Property Committee, and the Finance Committee. The Board normally meets monthly and parents and caregivers are welcome to attend.

Copies of the Board's Minutes are available to read - these are kept in the office.
