Te Ao Kei Tua | Creating Our Future

Our vision and goals are that principals' wellbeing and professional growth is well supported, and that there will be sufficient resourcing available to address the work demands placed on principals across the entire motu. This is the new future we want to create.

Your Hauora

Big work weeks, demanding expectations and a lack of proper support networks. These are just a few of the issues that came to the fore in the Principals' Hauora Survey last year. As the challenging nature of leading a school changes, so too should the support, expectations and compensation for these roles.

Engaging with School Boards

The recent school board elections provide an opportunity to start the conversation with boards about staffing issues in our primary and intermediate schools, the pathway to fully staffed schools and to gain support for our campaign. We've prepared a guide to help you with this.
