Maungaraki School Board of Trustees

The Maungaraki School Board is responsible for the overall governance and strategic direction of our school. We act as the vital link between the community and the school, ensuring every student has the resources and support needed to reach their highest potential in learning.

We are committed to setting the school's long-term strategic vision in close consultation with our community, including parents, whānau, and staff. As the official employer of all school personnel, we oversee all major operational areas. This includes managing the school budget (finance), monitoring the curriculum, maintaining school property, and ensuring all internal policies and administrative systems are running legally and ethically.

In essence, our role is to ensure Maungaraki School operates successfully and provides a high-quality, supportive education for every student.
