Key Areas of Responsibility
The St Columba’s College Board must ensure that the objects of its Constitution are met. The key areas of responsibility derived from these objects can be broadly categorised into four areas:

- Catholic Identity – the Board must affirm, support and promote the Catholic identity of the College and ensure that the religious and general education of its young women is grounded in Gospel values and the traditions of the Catholic Church;
- Governance and Stewardship – the Board must ensure the good governance of the College, including meeting its legal and financial requirements and exercising stewardship of College resources;
- Board Performance – the Board must display due care in the performance of Board work.
In addition, each Director is a collaborator in the MAM educational mission. Directors contribute their expertise, experience and creativity in order to sustain and continually renew the life of the College, and as such will have their own individual roles and responsibilities.
