The Board of Directors are elected by members of Canberra Rudolf Steiner School Association Incorporated. Directors are elected for two-year terms with elections being held at the AGM in May each year.

The Board has established a Finance Committee to assist in carrying out its fiduciary financial duties.

All matters to do with the day-to-day operation of the School or management issues should be referred to the Principal, James Goodlet, who can be contacted by telephone on 02 6288 4283 or email principalsoffice@oranaschool.com.

The Board does not involve itself in specific management issues (such as discipline, the details of the curriculum, staff concerns, or the payment of fees).

Summary minutes of Board meetings are available for Association members in School Box.
