Board of Trustees News – Thank you Rachael

Richmond School is governed by a Board of Trustees. On the Board there are seven trustees – 5 parent representatives, a staff representative (Jaime Kingi) and the Principal. Ryan Higgins (Deputy Principal) is the ‘Minute Secretary’.

The Board deals with the ‘governance’ (setting policies and ratifying documentation/happenings once assured they are completed) of the school whereas the management (day to day running of the school) is the domain of the school’s management team.

At last week’s Board meeting the Board accepted Rachael Reddecliffe’s resignation. Rachael has been on the Board for over 3 years. Her educational background and knowledge being a huge asset to the Board. Rachael is owner of Little People early childhood centres in Richmond and Wakefield. We thank her sincerely for her outstanding service on the Board.

Also at the meeting Steve Bell was co-opted back onto the Board and re-elected Chairperson.
