Our Board

Board members are elected to act on behalf of the Kinohaku School’s community to ensure that the school continuously improves student progress and achievement.

The Board are responsible for seven key work areas in the school, which are:

development and ongoing review of the Kinohaku School charter.
monitoring and reviewing Kinohaku School’s progress.
putting in place a policy framework.
employing the principal.
managing assets.
ensuring Kinohaku School’s legal compliance.
implementing the National Education Guidelines

The work of the Board is primarily about governance of the school. Governance involves setting strategic direction through Kinohaku School’s vision, core values and strategic goals. Core work of the board includes setting targets and tracking student progress. This also includes regular review of curriculum areas. The board monitors financial expenditure of the school and sets a yearly budget. We also establish long term property plans and prioritise property projects with allocated funds.

The Kinohaku School Board is responsible for ensuring the school complies with all legal directives made by the government and the Ministry of Education. This is done by ensuring we have robust policies and procedures in place. There is a clearly documented line between board work and management work. The board governs (oversee management) and the principal manages the school. It is not the role of the Board to be involved in the day-to-day operation of the school, this is the responsibility of the principal and the school staff.
