St Andrew’s School Incorporated is a not for profit organisation. All funds must be used for the benefit of the School.

The School Council, in association with the Principal, is responsible for managing the School, recognising that the effectiveness of the board and the Principal are interdependent.

The day-to-day management of the School rests with the Principal. The Principal is appointed by the School Council. The governance of the School is under the control of 11 board members. The members work voluntarily to add lasting value to the School. They uphold the School’s mission, ensuring congruence between decisions and core values. Disciplined compliance is established through appropriate mechanisms. The Board is structured to fulfil essential governance duties and support the School’s priorities.

The School Council consists of :

• The Rector of St Andrew’s Church, Walkerville
• Four members appointed by the Parish Council of St Andrew’s Church
• Three members elected by the Parents’ Association
• Three appointed members with financial, educational and legal skills.

The Archbishop is the Visitor of the School.

The Executive Committee, consists of the Chairman and three other members of School Council. Collectively, they need to have financial, educational and legal skills. The Principal and Business Manager are ex-officio members of this committee.

Reports are received from the Parents’ Association, the Foundation and the Past Students’ Association.

At times, the Principal invites staff members to address the whole Council on educational matters; specialists are also invited by the Principal to inform the Council on matters of importance.
