The Constitution of Good Shepherd Lutheran School Angaston Incorporated
GSLS School Board
The School Board is responsible for appointing a Principal for the day to day management of the school. The School Board meets on a regular basis to strategically plan for the schools future, review and develop policies, set a responsible annual budget and through the Principal, ensure compliance with various external bodies such as the State and Commonwealth Government and Non Government Schools Registration Board.
Good Shepherd is part of the network of Lutheran schools within the district and across Australia. These schools have a common set of values and mission, and work interdependently, whilst at the same time valuing their individuality and respecting the areas for which the Church has responsibility.
The Lutheran Church sponsors Lutheran schools in order to make Jesus Christ known to students and families within education institutions. Therefore the school will pursue what is educationally best for each student, within a Christian context and from a Christian point of view.
As a Lutheran school, the school can never sacrifice its spiritual centeredness whilst at the same time, as an educational institution, the school desires to provide a high quality educational program. The School Board is to ensure that a balance between these perspectives is maintained.
