We are an Independent Public School (IPS)
As such, the Harvey Senior High School’s Board (the board) meets twice a term, to guide the strategic direction of the school in line with the school’s Delivery and Performance Agreement and Business Plan.
The Performance and Delivery Agreement describes in broad terms what the school is expected to provide to its students, staff and the community in exchange for the funding provided by the state government.
What does the Board do?
While the board doesn’t run the school (this is the job of the Principal), it has an important role in the governance of the school.
This includes:
- endorsing the Delivery and Performance Agreement
- endorsing and reviewing the school budget and Business Plan each year
- endorsing the annual fees and charges
- regularly monitoring the budget and progress towards the Business Plan
- processes to review school performance
- processes to determine satisfaction levels of parents, staff and students, with results reported in the school’s annual report
- the process for selecting the principal.
The board is guided by Western Australia’s School Education Act 1999 and regulations, specifically those relating to school councils.
Who is on the board?
The Harvey Senior High School Board draws its membership from parents, the local community, students, staff and the Principal. Meetings are generally open for others to attend and observe, unless confidential or sensitive matters are being discussed. Each year in Term 2, the board holds a public meeting that includes election of new members and the Board Chair.
