Christian Education National (CEN) schools are born out of a gathering of people of faith. These groups have established schools which recognise the sovereignty of God in all aspects of individual and organisational life, including the legitimate requirements of governments.
For our schools to thrive, we need Associations of people committed to Christian education and who seek to ensure schools stay true to their vision, mission and values. Our Associations must be strong and vibrant so our school can be too.
Boards play an essential role in building, maintaining and engaging their Associations, and to being accountable to those Associations.
This course will help boards in those important tasks.
Course structure
The course is designed to be completed as a module that is part of the suite of governance training courses. However, boards can access individual topic modules as needed.
These short courses can be undertaken by individual board members, or be completed as a board together. The modules are kept short so boards can fit the training into their busy board calendars.
The training builds on the materials covered in the Board Induction Course, and this is a useful pre-requisite to the governance modules.
