As schools move toward Term 3, it is a useful time for leadership teams and governance groups to review current priorities, confirm responsibilities and prepare for the second half of the school year.
This update is intended for AISSA member school leaders, school administrators, principals, business managers and board representatives involved in planning, governance and school operations.
Schools may wish to review several priority areas before the start of Term 3, including board reporting, policy review schedules, strategic planning actions and operational risks.
Strong governance depends on clear separation of responsibilities between board oversight, school leadership and operational delivery.
Where responsibilities overlap, schools may wish to confirm who owns each action, who needs to be consulted and what information should be reported back to the board or leadership team.
Useful supporting material may include updated policy registers, risk summaries, financial reports, professional learning plans and key compliance documents.
Where possible, these materials should be prepared early enough for leadership and governance groups to review them before decisions are required.
The AISSA Resource Centre may include templates, guides and checklists to support school planning, governance and compliance activities. Access to these resources may vary based on your school, role and portal permissions.
Further governance updates and supporting resources will be added to the portal as they become available.
