BOARD WORK TO DO
STRATEGY

Annual Plan Goal 3: Full Board ownership of policy review - the charter is the Board's number one policy.

As a new board with a three year term ahead we are now making our new three year strategic plan (charter).  The charter is the board's most important document and guides the school for the next three years.  There have been legislative changes around strategic planning.

In this meeting we should plan and make a timeline for how the board will lead the strategic planning for St Joseph's. 

The principal has already undergone consultation on the board's behalf.  See community survey from August meeting.  Tongan, Filipino, Chinese and Maori consultation feedback below.  
By November we will have:

Community Consultation, Cultural Consultation, Student Wellbeing Surveys, Student Engagement Surveys, up to date broad student achievement data, more curriculum documentation, staff feed-forward into strategic planning.

Our new plan should lead on from our previous plan: St Joseph's Charter 2017-19

NZSTA strategic planning workshop Oamaru 30th October.
