Board meetings are held monthly during term time, usually on the first Tuesday of the month. There are potentially three parts to Board meetings:
- The Open Section where the Primary and Secondary Principals and the School Director present key status and issues facing the school at the current time and near future.
- The Confidential Section where apart from the Board, only the School Director and Board Secretary are present.
Minutes of these two sections are taken and published by the Board Secretary.
- A Board-only Section is held periodically when the Board wishes to discuss issues on a Board-only basis. The School Director and Board Secretary are not present and no formal Minutes are taken. This allows a free flow of discussion and brain-storming but no formal decisions are taken. Should decisions be desired, these need to be undertaken by one of the formal Board avenues.
Decisions can be taken in-between meetings, either by calling for a special meeting, or in cases where little discussion is required, or there is a high degree of urgency, the Board can agree to take decisions by gathering consensus via e-mail.
