As an Independent Public School the West Coast Language Development Centre has established a school board that is representative of the school community including staff, parents and school partners. Our School Board supports our school community and plays a major role in our accountability processes.
We have a focus on improving student outcomes, developing a shared vision that includes values education. Our School Board is actively involved in endorsing school policy and planning including our Annual Reports and Business Plans.
We meet a minimum of four times a year with other meetings called if the occasion arises. As principal, I actively encourage all new families to consider being a part of this valuable school support system.
