Cedarcrest Governing Board

The Governing Board is a committee legislated by the Government, in which equal numbers of parents and staff are represented, which meets on a regular basis. Parents are elected to this committee at a General Assembly held in September. It works closely with Administration advising and working together to achieve the goals of the school as expressed in The Mission Statement, The Educational Project and The Success Plan.

Non Governing Board members are always welcome to attend. We invite all parents to join us as observers. Our meetings take place virtually, not in person at school. Parents should contact the GB chair to receive the link.
