Board members and senior leaders benefit from clear, concise reporting that supports governance oversight and informed decision-making.

## Supporting board oversight

Board members and senior leaders require clear information to support effective governance oversight. This includes concise reporting on strategic priorities, policy review, risk management and key decisions.

- focus reporting on oversight and decision-making
- identify items requiring board attention
- provide enough context without overwhelming detail

## Separating governance and operations

A clear distinction between governance and operational management helps schools maintain effective oversight. Board reporting should support informed decision-making while respecting the role of school leadership in day-to-day delivery.

- clarify whether each item is for noting, discussion or decision
- connect board items to strategic priorities
- record actions and follow-up responsibilities clearly

## Accessing board-related content

Some AISSA portal content may be restricted to board members or senior school leaders. If you believe you should have access to board-related resources but cannot see them, please contact AISSA or your school administrator.

- review governance and board resources where visible
- check that your portal access type is correct
- raise access issues before key reporting deadlines

## Using the AISSA portal

Relevant updates, resources and supporting materials may be available through the AISSA portal. Access may vary based on your organisation, role and portal permissions.
