• It is a self-managing school within the government school system.
• We have a College Board that provides guidance and makes recommendations to the Principal on matters outlined in a Memorandum of Understanding. 
• The Principal of Sevenoaks Senior College is accountable to the Director General for the operation of the College based on the College Business Plan.
• The Board can make recommendations on any matter relating to the development or operation of the College.
• In particular, recommendations may be made about College Planning, College Performance, Business, Community and Post Education Provider Links, Business Processes, Resources, Human Resource Management, Students and Programs.
