Messages from some of our current School Board members:

Amanda Taylor

I’m excited to be a parent representative on the School Board, as we work together towards improving our childrens’ education and supporting them to thrive.

We live locally, and our two children attend Currambine Primary School. I feel grateful for the opportunities the school provides them through academics, sports and arts.

I’m looking forward to collaborating with the other board members to support the school and our community to achieve their goals.

I am honoured to be part of a diverse group with the common aim of ensuring our kids get an education and help to develop to the best of their individual abilities. The main part of the role is to represent all stakeholders input into the running of the school. The Board members are always respectful of all opinions and the function of Board is the process by which the school is accountable to the whole school community. Being a part of the process encourages me to give a little of my time to help the school achieve its objectives which as school community members we all share.
