The New Zealand Schools Trustees Association (NZSTA) are preparing for the upcoming Triennial BoT elections in June.  This is a fantastic opportunity to get involved in the school at a governance level.  NZSTA are working hard to encourage parent and whanau participation on school boards in order to help shape and support the education of their children. To that end, NZSTA will be rolling out the Korari Programme for anyone interested in finding out about standing for the school board elections. They have attached the following resources to help with this:

1. Korari: a programme (workshop) that provides parents with governance training to help them understand the role of school boards of trustees. NZSTA will be rolling out workshops for Korari in March/April this year. Please see attached poster for this. (Note – this is an information sharing session – Qs and As, not the training of potential board members).  If you would like to attend this workshop, please complete the attached form and email it to korari@nzsta.org.nz                                                                     
2. Community member guide to the role of the board of trustees: This explains a lot of commonly asked questions and information about becoming a trustee.

If you would like to find out more about what is involved in becoming a school trustee, please contact the office who can put you in touch with our current board chair Trevor Campbell.
