Board of Trustees

Like all state and state-integrated schools in New Zealand, the governance of the college is in the hands of the Board of Trustees. As LAC is a state-integrated school some of the trustees are elected and some are appointed by the proprietors (the New Zealand Seventh-day Adventist Schools Association). Students and staff also elect one trustee each to the Board. Board elections are held every three years.

The Board meets usually on the third Thursday of each month (check latest newsletter for dates).  Board meetings are open for the public to observe, and held in the college library at 5.30pm.

The role of the Board is to ensure good governance, to appoint staff, to hear serious student discipline cases and to plan strategically for the future of the college. The Board relies on the Principal and his management team to manage the college.
