RAS (Run A School) Principals’ Manual for Seventh-day Adventist Schools in the Pacific
Becoming a school principal is one of the most exciting and demanding roles that there
is today.

volunteer helpers you have the opportunity to make a difference in children’s lives, to
bring them to Jesus Christ and to give them an excellent education.
To accept a position of employment in a Seventh-day Adventist (SDA) School is a statement of commitment
and dedication to Christian education and the welfare of all students. It is your responsibility as the school
leader to run your school – that is why this document is called “Run-A-School” or RAS. It is intended to be a
simple guide to helping you run the best school possible!
