The Governing Board is a representative body composed of parents, teachers, representatives from both the non-teaching professionals and support staff, daycare, and the community. Their mandate is to work in partnership to insure that all students receive the best possible learning opportunities. The school principal attends the meetings but is not a member and cannot vote.

The board's primary responsibilities are to adopt and oversee the school's educational project and the school's operating budget. The board must also approve proposals from the principal on the approach for implementing the basic school regulation, proposals for adapting and enriching Ministry programs, time allocation for each subject, field trips, use of school premises, student fees and approves the approach for implementing student and special education services. The board also must be consulted on the textbooks and instructional materials required. The board also establishes the principles for determining the costs of documents for student use and the list of school supplies.

The school board may also consult the governing board on various governance, policy and spending issues.

The governing board meets monthly and is open to the public.
