Our School Board

The Winchester School Board is a group of five elected parent members, one elected staff representative and the principal who is ex-officio. We have a governance role which involves setting the strategic direction and long term plans for the school.  
  • Each Board member is allocated responsibility to oversee a portfolio.
  • While the Board has overall responsibility for the school, we are not involved in the day-to-day running of the school. The principal is the day-to-day manager so they should usually be the first point of contact for most matters. 
  • Please refer to the school calendar for meeting dates.

We work hard to represent our community and ensure key decisions help the school remain a welcoming and dynamic place where creativity and lifelong learning are valued.
