Bairnsdale Sale, Australia Gippsland Grammar Full time
  • Join Gippsland's Oldest Independent School
  • Influence Development, Culture and Performance
  • Voluntary Role

Gippsland Grammar provides an outstanding contemporary, holistic education where our community has a shared understanding of what we learn, how we learn and who we teach. Our School culture is centred around our core values of Compassion, Leadership, Excellence, Responsibility and Respect and develops people of character who act with integrity and wisdom.

Expressions of Interest are currently being sought for appointment to the Gippsland Grammar Board of Directors for a term of up to three years.

Applications will be assessed against the school's skills matrix, including the applicant's ability to apply their skills, backed by their experience.

All Board members are expected to possess the ability to:

  • Have capacity for independent and strategic thinking.
  • Have excellent teamwork skills, be capable of building working relationships with fellow Directors and sub-committee members, including those with different backgrounds and ways of thinking.
  • Fully participate in the governance process, including an understanding of the policy role of a Board.
  • Attend regular Board meetings and important related meetings, with adequate preparation including reviews and comments on minutes and reports.
  • Provide guidance and feedback to the School Leadership, where appropriate.
  • Have or be prepared to obtain appropriate working with Children approvals.

While formal qualifications from a body such as the Australian Institute of Company Directors is desirable, it is not essential. Prior experience in governance practice as Board member or as a senior executive would be viewed as an advantage.

Gippsland Grammar is a child safe environment. Every child has a right to be safe, and at the School, we take a zero-tolerance approach to any behaviours that jeopardise student safety (including child abuse and reportable conduct). As such, preferred applicants will be subject to child protection screening, background and reference checks, verification of identity checks and must adhere to the School's child safe practices, as outlined in the Student Protection Program policies on the School's website.

To apply, please submit:

  • A covering letter that states why you are applying for the position, outlines your commitment to child safety and addresses the key selection criteria (contained within the position description). Please note this should not exceed one page.
  • A current resume or Curriculum Vitae outlining your personal and contact details, qualifications, relevant history of child-connected work and other work (including dates/period of employment and summary of duties and responsibilities), suitability to work with children, education and professional memberships (maximum two pages).
  • Name and contact details for three work related referees (note it is possible during the recruitment process you are asked for a fourth - particularly if you have not listed your current manager as a referee).

Only persons with unlimited rights to work in Australia need apply.
