Welcome to The Governing Body Foundation

The Governing Body Foundation is essentially a service organisation founded in 1999 to propagate the best interests of sound governance in South African public schools.

At the beginning of 2010, the GBF represented over 700 public schools in all nine South African provinces, with offices in Cape Town, Johannesburg, Durban and Port Elizabeth.

The organisation primarily offers advice, guidance, information, training and general support on all aspects of school governance.

The GBF has established the necessary resources and infrastructure, and possesses the legal and general expertise, knowledge and experience, to service its members’ needs efficiently. Our facilities can be of value to all public schools which find themselves faced with similar governance challenges.
