At Forster Community College Trustees of the Board work alongside the appointed Chief Executive and his/her staff to ensure the organisation is effectively and properly run and meets the needs as identified in its Objects of Association.  Trustees are elected for a 3 year term with an option to extend a further 3 years.

The Board has adopted the following principles (outlined in A Code for the Voluntary and Community (2005), Good Governance) as the basis from which there is an understanding of the role of each Trustee; selflessness, integrity, objectivity, accountability, openness, honesty and leadership.
