School Board


The Kingsford Smith School Board meets regularly on a monthly basis. The members of the board are:

  • Board Chair
  • Parent representative
  • Student representatives
  • School Representatives
  • Non-voting members

The school board provides a formal mechanism for parents, staff and students to have their views taken into account when decisions are made. Section 39(1) of the Act details the functions of a board of a public school:

  • to establish strategic direction and priorities for the school
  • to monitor and review school performance and to report on it to the Chief Executive, parents of students at the school and staff
  • to develop, maintain and review curriculum for the school
  • to develop and review education policies at the school
  • to establish budgetary policies for the school and approve the school budget
  • to establish policies for the efficient and effective use of school assets and the management of financial risk
  • to develop relationships between the school and the community and between the school and community organisations
  • to make recommendations to the Chief Executive on issues affecting the school and to give effect to the Chief Executive's directions
  • to encourage parent participation in their children's learning
  • to exercise any other function given to the board under the Act or any other Territory law.
