Role and Responsibilities of the SGB
The School Governing Body (SGB) is a statutory body of parents, educators, non-teaching staff and learners (from Grade 8 or higher) who seek to work together to promote the well-being and effectiveness of the school community and thereby enhance learning and teaching.
The SGB has a fiduciary (trust) relationship towards the school. The SGB's role is to support the school administratively so that the educators may concentrate on their teaching.
The SGB essentially:
· assists the school with matters of administration, finance, discipline of the learners, etc and
· develops school polices aligned with the legal requirements of provincial and national policies.
Its work can be divided into six key functions:
· Steering
· Monitoring
· Support
· Executive
· Accountability
· Discipline
