The School Board is a collaborative team working for the benefit of the students, staff and school community. The Hillcrest Primary School Board’s main role is to be involved in the governance of the school, which means playing a role in shaping and monitoring the school’s objectives, priorities and general directions.

It is not the Board’s role to manage the school – that is the Principal’s responsibility.

The Board participates in:

• formulating, endorsing and annually reviewing the school’s Business Plan;
• processes to review school performance;
• processes to determine satisfaction levels of parents, staff and students;
• endorsing the school’s annual report.

Members are appointed for three years, and positions are advertised when available via school communication platforms.

The Hillcrest Board currently consists of these members:

Erin Ross - School Board Chair

Scott Bainbridge - School Board Vice Chair

Liz Ford - Principal

Lee Bates - Parent representative

Eleanor Robbins - Parent representative

Jake Jayatilaka - Parent representative

Tenille Kennedy - Parent representative

Claire Trolio - Parent representative

Mitchell Paddick - Staff representative

Rachael Roberts - Staff representative

Ellen Soet - Staff representative

Rhiannon Italiano - Community representative
