An advantage of being an Independent Public School is that Aveley North Primary School established a school board that is representative of the school community including staff, parents and school partners. The School Board supports the school in many ways, providing the expertise of its diverse membership to create and foster exciting opportunities for the school.

The School Board is playing a major role in the accountability of Aveley North Primary School and represents the values and aspirations of our school community.  Through the strong leadership and support of the Board, our school is enhancing the educational opportunities of our students. The Board also assists and supports staff and parents to strive for the very best for our school.

The Board meets four times per year and one of these meetings is a public meeting to which the school community is invited. The Board also hold workshops for board members to review the overall quality of the programs offered within the school and the progress of the School against its key performance indicators.
