• Help make sure public funds are used wisely.

You’ll be a full voting member of the Board, representing either the 16–18 or 19+ age group. Your input helps the Board understand what matters most to students.

The Board sets the college’s overall direction, manages finances, and makes sure everything runs smoothly. They don’t run the day-to-day stuff, that’s up to the Principal and senior staff, but they make the big decisions that shape your college experience.
