In doing so, the Board:

- Ensures our school’s overriding focus is on improving student progress and achievement.
- Is accountable to the school’s stakeholders for educational and general school performance. Our key stakeholders are our school community (current students, their whānau, school staff, etc.), the Crown, and the Ministry of Education.
- Is the legal employer of all school staff
