Governance

We can't be a community without you!

BOARD

Halifax Independent School is a registered charitable society in which parents and staff govern the school. Almost from its inception, the school has operated on a cooperative model with the gifts and skills of parents influencing every aspect of school life. Our Board is comprised of elected parents and staff members who meet monthly to oversee the direction of the school. Parents and staff, all of whom are members of the society, gather together for three general meetings during each school year. These meetings provide an opportunity for parents to be well-informed and to have a voice in important discussions. Policies and practices are set and modified as needed with the input of the membership.

COMMITTEES

Committees deal with many different aspects of school life and consist of parents and teachers working together. An active Landscape committee has designed and planted gardens and trees to beautify the large grounds. Other committees such as Parent Support, Finance, Policy, Governance, Facilities, Public Relations, Information Technology and Library provide opportunities for parents who wish a deeper level of involvement in the school. All committees report to the Board of Directors. With such a varied selection of committees, every interested parent can find a way and a place to contribute to the life of the school.
