Governance
The school is governed by a Board consisting mainly of parents elected annually at an A.G.M. held each October. There is a teacher governor. The Head Teacher also serve on the Board, which has powers of co-option. The Proprietor of the school and the Chief of Maseru West, may also nominate governors. The Board is regulated by a constitution, appoints the Head Teacher and takes a strategic overview of the organizational and financial well being of the school. In so doing the Board subscribes to standards required by accreditation to the Council of International Schools.
Management
The
school is managed by the Head Teacher with the assistance of a management
team that includes the Senior Teachers (Curriculum & Organization) and
on occasion for financial management, the Bursar. Any parental concerns
or suggestions should be expressed in the first instance to individual
teachers, and only if that fails to provide satisfaction, to an appropriate
member of the management team and finally the Head Teacher. Should parents
wish to raise a matter with the Board they should do so through the Head
Teacher. Click on the image at the beginning of this paragraph to
