School Board
The Newborough School Board is comprised of parents and community members, staff members and the Principal of the school. The School Board is formed with the fundamental purpose of enabling parents and members of the community to engage in activities that are in the best interests of students and that will enhance the education provided by the school.
Newborough School Board Voting
Congratulations to Sean Johnson and Rebecca Mitchell who were elected unopposed as parent representatives on the School Board. This left one vacancy that was re-advertised. We have three nominations for this position so I am now required to run an election process. All parents currently on the school’s enrolment database are entitled to vote. This includes new parents joining the school next year and those who may be leaving us at the end of the year. Please consider the three candidates and have your say. All the information about the candidates and voting procedures can be found on the attachments provided in the newsletter. This information is available on the school’s website and paper copies and voting box in the front office. Voting has now CLOSED
