2. What is the system of Governance in the school? Explain
How it works.
First, the founding members are the most highest, then the honorary president and the
honorary patron. Board Of Governors comes next,and they are in charge of the chinese
teaching department and parents helpers and also scholarships and the school money
and IT and the premises and development. Then the headmaster then the principals,
Vice principals and under is the teachers and CAS then students. The principals and
the teachers get together to have discussions about the school and decisions being
made. The principals and maybe the vice principals tell the teachers what to teach the
students.

5. What are people’s rights in this system of governance?
The teachers and students have the right to have a voice and
ask questions, challenges, and we have the right to make
things better in a positive way. The rights of the principal is to
kick out a student or a teacher if they are not being good or
behaving badly and if they are not teaching or doing their job
well, he can kick them out.
