St Francis Strat Plan 2024 – 2025

St Francis Annual Implementation of Strat Plan 2024

What do BOT members do at St Francis Catholic School?

Our BOT assures the Ministry of Education that:

The students in the school are receiving a high quality standard of education

National priorities for school education are being addressed in the school

The resources are being used prudently to ensure the highest possible quality programmes are provided for students

To be able to accept this responsibility requires the BOT to provide sound governance for the school as a professional teaching institution.  This means:

Ensuring staff have a clear sense of purpose

Setting priorities and goals for improvement of learning and achievement in the school particularly Maori and Pacific Islanders

Seeking assurance from the management (principal and senior staff) that the programmes being implemented in the school can achieve goals

Evaluating information on the outcomes that the school’s students are achieving in respect of the goals that have been set

Seeking assurance from the school’s management that the school’s resources are being used optimally to deliver the agreed outcomes, ensuring, for example that resources are available to ensure the knowledge and skills of the teacher / support are up to date

As BOT members of a Catholic School they must also ensure that students are educated within an atmosphere of Christ’s love which permeates all that occurs in the school.
