Leadership & Governance

Leadership

At Kalamunda Christian School we have a highly collaborative approach to, and distributed model of, school leadership. Leadership can be ultimately defined as influence, and all our staff daily influence the lives of those in their care.

The school’s Executive Team has particular responsibility in setting the vision, culture, and strategic direction of the school.

Governance

Our school is a member of the Swan Christian Education Association (SCEA). Founded in 1981, SCEA is now Western Australia’s largest Independent Christian School provider with over 4, 000 students across its seven school sites.

Membership provides real advantages, enabling us to call upon significant expertise and resources across areas such as finance, human resources, educational consultancy, professional development, risk management, ICT and marketing. It also means that not only do our students get opportunity to interact with other SCEA students during their years here, but also have a guaranteed place of enrolment in across the many secondary options outlined below.

In accordance with its Constitution, the governing body of the Association is the Board of Directors. The Board oversees the governance of all member schools and is made up of highly skilled and committed people dedicated to the advancement of Christian Education in Western Australia. Hence the wording of SCEA’s vision:

“We exist to be a thriving system of interdependent Christian schools in Australia that are inspired by the mission initiated by Jesus Christ to equip and empower those we serve to experience life in all its fullness.”

The Association’s Priorities for 2020 – 2025 are threefold:

LEARNING

To enhance the quality of teaching and learning across our schools and strengthen its alignment with our mission.

LEADERSHIP

To continue to develop our current leaders and nurture future leaders who understand the SCEA mission and can lead competently with integrity.

INTERDEPENDENCE

To establish governance structures, systems and processes that align with our mission and values, promote collaboration throughout our school network and lead to organisational effectiveness, efficiency, sustainability, and wellbeing.
