In Tasmania, all Catholic schools involve their communities in school decision-making.
The Archbishop exercises both canonical and civil oversight of the operations of Catholic schools in the Archdiocese. The ultimate civil authority for the conduct of the Archdiocesan Schools rests with the Roman Catholic Church Trust Corporation of the Archdiocese of Hobart (Church Trust Corporation), acting with delegated authority from the Archbishop.
A Board of Management is one way in which members of the community are involved in the school’s planning and accountability. The Board is comprised of community-minded individuals, passionate about Mount Carmel College. They use their extensive and diverse skills and experience to support and provide advice to the Principal regarding the operations and strategic direction of the College.
The functions of the Board fall into two categories:
- Financial and property management.
- Advice to school administration on a range of educational and managerial strategic matters.
