Our Staff
Board of Trustees

Board of Trustees

Every three years, our school community, staff and parents, elects a School Board. Members can also be co-opted at any time to bring in additional expertise or fill vacancies.

The Board acts as the official employer of all school staff and steers the school’s overall strategic direction. The Principal serves as the Board’s Chief Executive, overseeing day-to-day operations in line with Board policies.

What the School Board does:

Collaborates closely with the Principal and engages with staff, students, and our wider community.
Sets the educational goals and long-term vision for the school.
Tracks progress and keeps families informed about student achievement and school performance.
Decides how funding is allocated to best support our learners and environment.
Supports the ongoing development of teachers and staff.
Oversees areas like staffing, property, finances, curriculum, and administration.

Board meetings are held twice a term, usually on Tuesday evenings, Week 3 and Week 8. Training and ongoing support are available for Board members through the New Zealand School Trustees Association and other organisations, making it a rewarding and well-supported role. You can contact the School Board at any time, just email bot@stants.school.nz.

If you would like to know more about joining our School Board, or would like to sit in on a meeting, give the school office a call on 04 380 6971 and we’ll put you in touch with the right person.
