WELCOME
The Avondale College School Board exists primarily to govern the school on behalf of the community and as such we are tasked with continuously improving student progress and achievement outcomes through strategic leadership and direction to the school. The College’s Charter, containing the Strategic Plan, sets out our values and those characteristics that make Avondale College unique.
The Board is made up of members from a wide cross-section of society. We are accountable to the parents, students, the crown and our community to ensure that the school delivers on its strategic objectives.
FEEDBACK
An important part of a Board’s role is self-review. As part of this process, we welcome your feedback on our Charter, the Strategic Plan, and our Goals. We also welcome feedback on our Policies and on any aspect of our governance and leadership.
If you wish to bring matters to our attention, we invite you to email the Avondale College School Board on zsmr@avcol.school.nz This address is that of the Board Secretary and will be forwarded to the Presiding Member and the wider Board as necessary.
BOARD MEETING SCHEDULE
The Avondale College School Board meets regularly. These meetings are not public meetings, but they are 'open to the public'. That means that even if you're not a board member you are welcome to attend as an observer.
We value all feedback in reviewing the operations of the College, so that we improve the way we operate in order to better support student progress and achievement.
