A charter sets the direction for the school and identifies the priorities the board expects the principal to be leading.
The charter is the key-planning document for the school. It includes strategic aims and annual plans which:
- reflect the goals and aspirations the community has for the school and the students for the next 3–5 years
- outline how the school is implementing the government’s priorities as set out in the National Education Goals and the National Administration Guidelines
- identify the key areas the Board will focus on, both in the longer term and the coming year, to improve the progress and achievement of all of the students.
