Why Ravenswood
Governance
Add to FavouritesRavenswood is a Uniting Church School. The School Council provides governance and guardianship for the effective management of the school and its future. It is appointed by, and ultimately responsible to, the Uniting Church in Australia (NSW Synod).
Council members bring expertise from teaching, business, law, technology, architecture, human resources, finance, the Church, and also their roles as parents and past students. They give generously of their time, knowledge and wisdom in support of the school and the Principal.
In consultation with the Principal, the School Council’s role is to:
- establish, evaluate and uphold the mission, vision and philosophy of the school
- develop policies and strategies consistent with these
- protect and enhance the school’s financial viability, making provision for the resources necessary to implement the policies and strategies of the school
