What does the board do? Section 127 of the Education and Training Act 2020 describes the board's responsibilities.
This is achieved through particular governance activities such as:
setting the strategic direction and targets for the school or kura
planning towards and reporting on achieving those targets
curriculum management
financial and property management
policies and procedures
health and safety
employment of staff at the school or kura.
The board has a duty to show to its parents, community, and to the government that students are being well prepared for life beyond school. Evidence of progress and future direction is outlined annually in a charter, which is a document declaring specific annual targets and long-term goals.
The board is elected by members of the school community to ensure that the school community has a voice in how its school operates.
The board must also ensure it is a good employer to all the staff in the school or kura.
The Education Review Office conducts regular monitoring and evaluation of all schools. Our last ERO Report was in 2023 and is available below. Our next ERO visit is scheduled for August 2026.
