JK> I am a deputy principal in a small (200 students, 
 JK> 18 teaching staff) high school in Queensland. My 
 JK> teachers are involved in many management committees 
 JK> that plan and monitor the operations of the school. 
 JK> They are also heavily involved in co-curricular 
 JK> activities and their all important tasks of 
 JK> preparation and teaching.
 JK> How can all these activities be best organised?
 JK> I am seeking ideas, hints, research, successful 
 JK> structures that relate to management / 
 JK> organisational structures in small high schools.
