The Board of Trustees elections are to be held in May of this year and we are seeking interest from people to stand for election or to encourage someone you know to stand. There is no specific qualification needed to fulfil the role of a Board member. Although having experience or skills in finance, property, governance etc is helpful, an attitude of caring about the success of students and being teachable are the attributes required to do the job.

I would like to invite any interested people to attend a brief and informal information evening on "The Role of a School Board of Trustees".

When: 29 March 2010

Where: GPS Staff Room

Time: 6.30pm – 7.30pm (you are invited to stay for the monthly BOT meeting that will follow)

RSVP: Sarah Fitzgerald (441 8730)

Surveys of Board members have shown that the majority consider their time spent on a school board to be rewarding and has given them both personal and professional growth. If you have any queries, please do not hesitate to contact myself or Fiona Cavanagh, Principal.
