We need people to make a difference for our school. Step forward or encourage someone you know, to stand for election. A school Board is accountable for student progress and achievement to its parents and community. The Board has the overall responsibility for the school.  This includes legal obligations covering curriculum, property, personnel, finance, health and safety.
Trustees are active leaders in our school and need to work well in a team, ask challenging questions and have good communication skills. For further information check out: http://www.nzsta.org.nz/trustee-elections/what-is-a-trustee-/
