to join the St Bernard’s College Council
The St Bernard’s College community is inspired by the Charism of Edmund Rice and our daily work informed and enriched by the EREA touchstones. We strive to offer a liberating education, based on Gospel spirituality, within an inclusive community committed to justice and solidarity.
The Advisory Council plays a pivotal role in the life of the College. It provides governance and oversight and collaboratively participates in setting the strategic direction of the College. Working closely with the Principal, the Advisory Council also oversees the College’s alignment and faithfulness to the Charter and the highest quality stewardship.
To ensure that the Advisory Council is in the best position to support the Principal and the College, it is critical that each member of the Council and its subcommittees brings skill and experience that complements the skills and experience of the other members, as well as the skills and experience relevant to the Council’s responsibilities.
The Advisory Council is now seeking expressions of interest from the St Bernard’s College community for additional members for the Council and subcommittees with excellent communication skills, commitment to the College and its mission, and substantial experience in the following areas:
