ST MARGARET'S ANGLICAN GIRLS SCHOOL (ABN 93 492 310 839) (CRICOS 00511K)

 

The Society of the Sacred Advent Schools Pty Ltd is the Trustee of separate Trusts established for both St Margaret's and St Aidan's Anglican Girls Schools. The members of the board of directors of the Trustee are: the Archbishop of the Anglican Diocese of Brisbane (or his nominee); the Reverend Mother of The Society of the Sacred Advent; a person nominated by The Society of the Sacred Advent; the Chair of St Aidan's School Council Ltd; and the Chair of St Margaret's School Council Ltd.

The Trustee owns the assets and operations of the respective Schools and is the employer of all staff. St Margaret's School Council Ltd (ABN 69 069 684 019), a public company limited by guarantee, has been appointed as the Trustee's agent to operate St Margaret's Anglican Girls School under a Management Services Agreement. The Council is also governed by its Constitution, takes guidance and direction from the Philosophy and Mission Statement of the Society of the Sacred Advent, and is regulated by Australian corporate law.

The primary tasks of the Council are to provide the School with vision, strategic guidance, resources and finance for operations and development. Most of this work occurs "behind the scenes" through Council meetings and Council committees. The support and guidance of the Reverend Mother and the Sisters of the Society of the Sacred Advent and their involvement in Council and the School's Ethos Committee are invaluable. The substantial, broad-based skills available to the School Council provide support and confidence in the decision-making process.

The Trustee and Council appoint the Principal. The Trustee, Council and Principal appoint the Chaplain. The Principal, as CEO, is responsible for all other staff appointments, for operating the School within the Trustee and Council approved policies and budget, and for assisting in the development of, and monitoring, strategic goals.

The School is affiliated with the Anglican Schools Commission of the Diocese of Brisbane for collegial support with other Anglican schools in the region, and for collective bargaining with our employees.
