-
establishing and reviewing, from time to time, the school’s objectives, priorities and general policy directions;

-
evaluating the school’s performance in achieving them;
-
promoting the school in the community;
-
determining, in consultation with students, their parents and staff, a dress code for students when they are attending or representing the school; and
