A New Framework of Governance

Abstract

<p>This article presents a new framework for the</p> <p>governance of Christian Schools—a Community</p> <p>Governance Framework that centres on the key</p> <p>roles and relationships contained within that</p> <p>community. Relationships are central to the</p> <p>Community Governance Framework, as it is our</p> <p>belief that quality healthy relationships are critical to</p> <p>growing healthy Christian organisations.</p> <p>Whilst there are many similarities and familiar</p> <p>elements between the Community Governance</p> <p>Framework and other models, the unique difference</p> <p>is that the Community Governance Framework</p> <p>seeks to put all the pieces of the governance puzzle</p> <p>together in one place to show, in effect, what a</p> <p>healthy Christian school actually looks like. The</p> <p>framework has been developed through practical</p> <p>experience as consultants working with the Boards</p> <p>of hundreds of Christian Schools and Not for Profit</p> <p>organisations.</p>
