The interaction between parents/carer and staff is vital in the education journey of every student at Kensington Secondary School.
Parent/carer participation is encouraged in the development of Individual Education Plans. Individual Education Plan meetings are held between teachers and parents/carers and other interst groups (e.g. therapists, local area coordinator) at the start of each semester. Reports are sent home at the end of the Term 2 and Term 4.
School Board
The school board is a legally formed body that, in partnership with our staff, has powers to set and monitor the key directions of our school. It is the major governing body of the school and oversees the school’s performance. In essence, the role of school board is one of setting the long term future for the school and maintaining oversight (not management) of the school’s operation. It is not about managing the school – that is the job of the principal. It is about providing additional expertise to help the school achieve the best outcomes for our students.
The board consists of the principal, representatives from the staff, a P&C representative and elected parents and community representatives. The current membership is: two staff (including the principal) and five parent/community members.
