1. Introduction
School Management Teams are responsible for quality of teaching and learning. For
them to improve the quality of teaching and learning effectively and efficiently, they
should be able to manage their roles and functioning successfully. They are responsible
for daily management of activities in the school. The effectiveness of the school mainly
depends on the management and the personality of the managers of that particular
institution.
According to Ngcobo and Tikly (2010) emphasis on the principal’s role is to implement a
shared vision. It is the principal’s role to ensure the best possible resource achievement,
allocation and assessing. The principal is responsible to ensure safe school environment
with no harm no fear in teaching and learning. To ensure that teaching and learning
goes smooth. To provide relevant learning and teaching support material. However, the
principal is required to hire qualified and professional teachers or educators, and ensure
that high quality education is delivered. The principal is responsible to manage human
resources, to manage the school as an organisation, inspection, planning, to manage
the school finances, directing, sharing the leadership. The principal should take initiative
of planning an on-going school governing body training as well as to provide induction
programmes for new parent governors elected (Mestry and Hlongwane 2009.333).
Barnes et al (2012:80), states that the school manager is responsible to develop clear
policies of securing all educators and support to all learners in difficulties. To ensure
safety in the school environment against violence, bullying, harassment, humiliation,
and crime. To ensure that there’s no harm and fearful at school as well as in the
classroom. To monitor the school property, like to inspect if the wall, windows, doors,
burglars if they are in good conditions.

3. The school governance role
Xaba (2011:210), states that their main responsibility is to promote interest of the
school. To ensure school finances are being utilized successful. However, they should
collaborate with the school managers effectively. If the school need extra teacher it is
the school governors together with the principal to employ the school govern teacher
who will be paid by parents not by the department of education. Furthermore, school
governors are responsible to maintain safety in all school facilities.
