This body consists of representatives of the parents, scholars, staff, Trust, Methodist Church and the surrounding community. Sub-Committees of Council meet monthly prior to Council meetings. Sub-committees of the Council are Finance, Standards and Excellence Committee which is in charge of maintaining standards, the Facilities and Development Committee which oversees development and the Human Resources Committee which ensures appropriate labour practice. Each of these committees is chaired by a member of council.
