Board of Trustees

All of New Zealand's state and state-integrated schools have a Board of Trustees (BoT). The Board of Trustees is the Crown entity responsible for the governance and the control of the management of the school. The Board is the employer of all staff in the school, is responsible for setting the school's strategic direction in consultation with parents, staff and students, and ensures that its school provides a safe environment and quality education for all its students.

The Board of Trustees is responsible for seven key work areas in the school, which are:

development and ongoing review of the school charter.
monitoring and reviewing your school’s progress.
putting in place a policy framework.
employing the principal.
managing assets.
ensuring your school’s legal compliance.
implementing the National Education Guidelines.

The Board of Trustees holds monthly meetings at the school, which are open to the public and publicised through the school newsletter and the website calendar. The minutes from these meetings are considered public documents and are available to read at the school office.
