School Advisory Board

At Antonio Catholic School, our School Advisory Board plays a vital role in supporting the mission and vision of our Catholic learning community. Guided by Gospel values and our commitment to faith, learning, and service, the Board works in partnership with the school leadership team to ensure the flourishing of all students and families. 

The Advisory Board is composed of parents, staff, and community members who bring diverse perspectives and a shared dedication to the wellbeing and success of our school. Members are elected by the school community at our Annual General Meeting each year. The Principal, Parish Priest, APRIM and staff representative also serve on the Board, ensuring strong connections between our school, parish, and broader Catholic community. 

Meeting twice each term, the Board provides thoughtful advice and guidance to the school leadership team in key areas including: 

• Faith and Catholic Identity 
• Financial stewardship 
• Strategic planning and policy development 
• Pastoral care and wellbeing 
• Building and facilities development 

We value the active participation of all members of our community and encourage parents to consider nominating for the Board at the beginning of each school year. Board members typically serve a two-year term.
