School Governance
Our School Governance
All Seventh-day Adventist Schools in Tasmania form a single system, under the banner of Seventh-day Adventist Schools Tasmania Ltd. This central organisation assists in the employment of staff, financial matters and curriculum development. This administrative structure gives our teachers freedom to focus on their central calling – to inspire, educate and mentor the young lives in their care.
North West Christian School is part of the world-wide Seventh-day Adventist education system, the largest Protestant education system in the world. With 140 years of educational excellence, the system operates more than 7,500 preparatory, primary, secondary and tertiary institutions in 100 countries and has enrolments of more than 2.5 million students.
North West Christian School is governed by its Board of Directors and School Advisory Council, and is owned and operated by Seventh-day Adventist Schools (Tasmania) Limited.
