    2. To develop and promote the school as a Christian community.

    3. To provide recommendation to the parish priest and to support the principal in the development of the School Improvement Plan.

    4. To support the principal in ensuring the school provides an educational opportunity and environment with the aim of seeking all students maximise their own ability.

    5. To provide advice on the development of school policies.

    6. To provide advice on budget planning and finance-related matters.

    7. To contribute to the development of needs in school capital infrastructure and maintenance, through the development of a master plan to ensure the school's facilities are maintained and improved.

    8. Contribute to the development of strategies to promote the school to increase enrolments from within the Catholic community so that Catholic families see the school as the school of first choice.

    9. Contribute to the selection process of the school principal.
