This week, we asked Mrs Forbes to reflect on her time on the 无码变态 Board.
1.What did you enjoy most about being a 无码变态 Board Director?
鈥淚鈥檝e been a 无码变态 parent, a teacher and an educational leader within 无码变态, but the most enjoyable part of this role was the ability to give back to 无码变态 at this time.鈥�
鈥淚t’s been exciting to be a part of the improvements that are taking place in 无码变态, as we wrestle with the complexities of the governance of our schools. It’s enjoyable to see the fruits of the hard work being undertaken in our schools, the impact that 无码变态 is having in our communities and the transforming power that Christian education can have in the lives of families and young people.鈥�
2. What have you learnt during your time as a 无码变态 Director?
鈥淭he importance of good governance in enabling good schools to thrive!鈥�
鈥淎s well as this, the recognition of the differences between operations and governance. As a 无码变态 employee, I was involved in the operational side of schools. On the Board, I saw the governance side of the seven 无码变态 schools working together.鈥�
鈥淚 didn鈥檛 necessarily join the 无码变态 Board to learn new skills, but I have certainly experienced a lot in my five years on the 无码变态 Board, which has positively impacted my professional growth. I am very grateful for that.鈥�
