School Trustees Elections

Schools are now busy planning for the 2010 School Trustee Elections.

The theme of the campaign is “Strong leaders make strong schools”. In fact, anyone from the community, including parents, can be nominated for election to a school board. It is important that the board reflects its community. The school’s parent community can and should vote to ensure they get the best board for their school.
The campaign was officially launched on 25 February 2010 by Hon Anne Tolley, Minister of Education, together with Lorraine Kerr, NZSTA President.
Most schools around the country will be calling for nominations from 15 March
2010 and voting closes on 7 May 2010.
Boards make important decisions for their schools. They set the strategic
direction of their schools and monitor progress in student achievement. Their
role is to bring parents, families, whānau, communities and schools together
to ensure that all children achieve their potential.
