The Board of Trustees

Our board governs the kura on behalf of the community: whānau-elected members, the Tumuaki and a staff representative. Meetings are open, and minutes are shared with whānau.

The board sets the strategic direction, oversees the budget, and holds the school to account for student outcomes — always with the wellbeing of our tamariki at the centre.

If you would like to observe a meeting, raise a matter, or stand for election, the school office will point you to the right person.

  • Whānau-elected representation
  • Open meetings, shared minutes
  • Strategic and financial oversight
  • Partnership with the Tumuaki and staff
