School Board
Our Lady of the Rosary School has a fully constituted School Board. It is a pastoral Board and operates within the framework of the constitution for Boards in Brisbane Catholic Education, approved and recommended by the Bishops of Queensland.
The Board has an advisory role to our school. The Board functions within the general goals for the parish and the school mission statement. The membership of the Board comprises the parish priest, school principal, one staff member elected by the school staff, three parent members elected by the parent body and a parish representative. It is a requirement that Board member complete a training course to be eligible for election to the Board. Training is available annually.
The five main areas of responsibility of the School Board are:

The OLR School Board meets monthly. Prayerful reflection, discernment and consensual decision making are the operating principles of the School Board.
