Kia Ora Board Chairs & Principals in Otago,

NZSTA has organised an initiative called Kōrari. The Kōrari programme is set up for parents and people in the community who would like to learn more about the role of school trustees. Kōrari is an introduction workshop and a set of resources that NZSTA has developed to provide governance training.

I have attached two flyers for our region and would appreciate if you could put it in your newsletters for the school community to view/access.

If you know of anyone who would be interested in learning more about life as a trustee, please RSVP for one of the sessions tolshelley@nzsta.org.nz

I’ve also included below the links to the NZSTA website – Information to parents and the interactive sign-up for the LMS (Learning management system) which will enable the person to access the on-line training modules and other information.

The hope is that we can spread the information far and wide and get as many people talking about Trusteeship prior to the elections as possible.

Nāku noa, nā
