Under the New Zealand Education Act, every state and state-integrated school in New Zealand is required to have a Board – the Crown entity that’s responsible for the governance of the school.
What does the Board do?
Where the Principal manages the day-to-day running of the school, the Board takes care of the personnel, property, finance, health and safety, employment and administration, while also setting the school’s strategic direction.
Where and when do they meet?
We hold meetings monthy in the school Board Room.
