GOVERNANCE

Governance

Moerlina School is an independent, community-owned school, governed by its parent body. Parents elect the Moerlina School Council to act on their behalf, providing strategic oversight and ensuring the school operates responsibly, sustainably, and in line with its philosophy and vision.

The Council is responsible for governance, including legal and financial stewardship, and for maintaining the high standards of education provided at the school.

Day-to-day operations are led by the Principal, who is delegated authority by the Council to manage the school. This clear distinction between governance and operations allows the Principal and staff to focus on teaching and learning, while the Council maintains oversight and long-term direction.

Council members take on defined roles, such as Treasurer and Secretary, and work alongside committees to support the effective running of the school.

 

Annual General Meeting

The Moerlina School Annual General Meeting (AGM) is held each year in May or June. At the AGM, the Chair of Council, Treasurer, and Principal provide families with an overview of the school’s performance across organisational, educational, and financial areas for the previous year.
