Purpose of the role
To provide strategic oversight, support and challenge to the Principal and senior leadership team, and to help ensure the College remains financially robust, well governed and faithful to its Catholic and Jesuit mission.
Expected commitment
Around 10-15 days per academic year, including Board and committee meetings, preparation, occasional school events and visits, and training.

The opportunity
The Board of Governors plays a central role in the life of the College. It is responsible for the strategic oversight of St Aloysius’ College, ensuring strong stewardship, sound judgement, robust challenge, and clear alignment with the mission of Jesuit education.
