School Board @ Hoon Hay Te Kura Kōaka

The Hoon Hay Te Kura Kōaka School Board is made up of five elected parent representatives, a staff representative and the Principal. The Board is mainly accountable for student achievement and must provide an environment for the delivery of quality educational outcomes. Boards are there to govern the school and the Principal manages the school.

Each member of the School Board is elected for a three-year term. Our elections are held on an 18-month cycle, retaining half the board each time. 

Our Board meets twice each term at 7.00 pm in the School Staffroom, unless otherwise notified. 

The Board's role is to: 
- Create a vision for the schools future alongside the Principal
- Be curriculum focused and "hands off" day to day management
- Deal with complaints and disciplinary matters referred by the Principal
- Review and approve a Strategic Plan each year
- Set a budget and monitor the school's financial position
- Ensure the school communicates effectively with the community
- Review the Principal's performance and management of the school
- Review and audit school policies and the Charter.

Our current School Board members are:  

• Craig Goodenough 
• Amy Honey
• Peter Dooley
• Amy van Deurs
• Phil Law
• Penny Rule (Staff Representative)
  
• Lee McArthur (Principal)
