Governance for boards is based on seven principles:

1. The roles and responsibilties are clear and understood.
2. The Board structure and compositions ensures relevant expertise and diversity.
3. The Board has a strategic focus.
4. Relevant risks are identified and managed.
5. Control Systems have integrity and support accountability.
6. A culture of responsibility and ethical decision making is promoted.

• The planning of financial arrangements necessary to fund those objectives, priorities and directions;
• Evaluating the schools performance in achieving them; and
• Formulating codes of conduct for students at the College.
