The School committees listed under Part B of the Policy are serviced by School professional staff.

This page has been developed as a resource for professional staff servicing these school committees, and any other staff who may assume the role of committee secretary as part of their duties.
The primary responsibility of the committee secretary is to work in partnership with the Chair of the committee to manage the business of the committee. This may include maintaining the membership list, organising meetings, preparing agendas and writing reports and minutes.
Secretariat Committee Officers can provide mentoring assistance to professional staff assuming the committee secretary roles.
