Treendale Primary School Board

As an Independent Public School, Treendale Primary School Board is required to have a School Board which is comprised of parents, staff and community representatives.

The Board is made up of 6 elected parent representatives, 4 staff, 2 co-opted community members and the Principal. Dayle Hamilton is the Chair of the Board.

The Principal is responsible for the educational leadership, operation and management of the school. To maximise the input of the School Board in developing school policies, the Principal seeks advice and will receive recommendations from the School Board and the Principal reports regularly to the Board on the school’s progress.

The School Board meets twice a term to support the Principal in the governance of the school. Policies are reviewed and endorsed, financial matters discussed as well as school performance data reviewed.

Meet Our Board 1

Dayle Hamilton
School Board Chair

I am a father of three, with the eldest graduating last year from Treendale Primary School (TPS) and my other two still attending TPS. I joined the school board as I wanted to become involved in my children’s education, their school and help out where I could. Being a member on the board has provided me a good insight and understanding of what it takes to manage TPS, how hard the teachers and other staff work to ensure our children have the best possible opportunity to be the best that they can possibly be.
