Governance guidelines

Independent schools have refined their procedures and practices over many years to meet changing corporate governance standards.

Independent Schools Victoria’s on-line searchable resource, Across the Board – Governance guidelines for independent schools supports this determination to meet community expectations by quickly providing best practice information. The material was produced by Dibbs Abbott Stillman Lawyers with input from SACS Consulting, Noel Waite of the Waite Group and Independent Schools Victoria board members and Secretariat.

Member Schools’ board members and principals have access to Across the Board and supporting advisory services and training packages. Other information on board governance topics will be posted on these pages.

For further Governance information contact Independent Schools Victoria.
