the Board of Trustees
Boards of trustees play a critical role in partnership with the school
principal to ensure all children at the school succeed.
The responsibility of a Board is that of governance and overview of
management of the school via the Charter and Annual Plan prepared by the
Board with reference to the stakeholder groups at the school.
Daily management of the school is the responsibility of the principal
and the teacher team. A Board member is not expected or required to
spend time involved in day to day management of school activities.
The Board meets from 7:30 pm to 10:00 pm on Monday
evenings once a month from February to December. There may be occasional
additional meetings due to special projects etc which may involve the
Board.
The Board environment is friendly and encourages input from all Board
members. The Board is a member of the New Zealand School Trustees
Association (“NZSTA”) and has access to all training material, courses
and expert advice offered by the NZSTA.
