All of New Zealand’s state and state-integrated schools have a Board of Trustees (BOT). The BOT is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of school. It is accountable for ensuring that the school is run in the best interests of its students, staff and community.
The Principal is the Board’s chief executive and has complete discretion to manage the day-to-day administration of the school as they think fit, so long as it complies with the Board’s general policy decisions.
At Glen Eden Intermediate our Board is made up of:
Trustees are elected by the parent community and staff members. Elections for staff trustees are held every three years (next elections in 2025). Parent trustees are elected for a three year term
The Board meets once a month between February and December. Meetings are open to the public, however they are not public meetings where everyone has the right to speak. Speaking rights can be granted in advance by the Board Presiding Member. In some instances, parts of Board meetings are closed to the public when the Board is discussing confidential matters.
Standing for the BOT is a great way to get involved in your child’s education. Training and support are available to assist with carrying out this responsibility. The New Zealand School Trustees Association (NZSTA) website contains information for current or potential trustees.
