School Board of Trustee Elections are held every 3 years and 2019 is election year. These elections will be held in May/June this year. Read on for more information.

Over the coming months we will run a series of articles to help explain more about School Boards of trustees, their roles and obligations and how to become involved. Further information can be found in the links at the bottom of this article or by contacting our Board of Trustees directly via BOT@Oaklands.school.nz.

Attached is a 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.
