Formation of the Board and staff
A significant aspect of our governance model is the ongoing importance of Ignatian formation of the Board and the staff of the College and also the importance of the principle of subsidiarity, meaning that issues should be dealt with at the level that is most appropriate for their resolution.
Consequently, the Board is specifically responsible for the following:
- Ensuring the school is conducted as an independent Catholic school in the Jesuit tradition;
- Guiding the College’s strategic direction;
- Participating in ongoing formation, including Ignatian formation;
- Developing the annual budget and the strategic plan of the College to JEA for approval;
- Appointing and/or removing the Principal, subject to the prior approval of JEA;
- Supporting, encouraging and advising the Principal and Rector of the College;
- Assessing and managing the Principal’s performance;
- Ensuring the Rector complies with his responsibilities/obligations and providing regular reports to the Provincial including any concerns they may have regarding the Rector;
- Monitoring the risks faced by the College and ensuring that they are appropriately dealt with, including to provide support to the Principal on the mitigation of risks;
- Ensuring the infrastructure of the College is properly developed and maintained;
- Making recommendations to JEA about future potential directors of the incorporated entity; and
- Ensuring Board committees exist that oversee the Audit, Finance and Risk of the College as well as the property and buildings used by the College.
The diagram below sets out the structure of incorporation governance:
The Principal and the Rector are not members of the Board; they may speak at meetings but cannot vote on decisions. The Principal and Rector report to the Board and attend all Board meetings. No member of staff can become a director of the College.
The JEA Representative is Ms Danielle Cronin – a director of JEA and the Director of Education Policy at Catholic Schools NSW. The JEA Representative is likewise not a member of the Board; they can speak at meetings but cannot vote on any decisions.
JEA approves the appointment of a Principal, the annual budget, and the College’s strategic plan, including its master plan. As with the appointment of directors, JEA must seek the prior approval of the Provincial for each of these matters.
The responsibility for day-to-day management and administration of the College is delegated to the Principal by the College Board. While the Principal is the College's Chief Executive Officer, the Principal shares day-to-day leadership with the Rector. The Rector must be a member of the Society of Jesus and is appointed directly by the Provincial. The Rector has the overall responsibility for the preservation and promotion of the Ignatian ethos and Jesuit identity of the College. He also has special care and responsibility for the faith formation of the College, including leadership in the liturgical, spiritual and service life of the College.
