Board of Trustees

At South Mākirikiri School our Board of Trustees, in partnership with our principal, endeavour to ensure all our students achieve educational success. The key focus of our board is improving student achievement.  We are responsible for setting the overall direction of the school through policy setting and strategic planning and in consultation with our principal, setting targets for identified achievement gaps. We monitor our progress, self review and strive for continuous improvement. We strive to be pro-active rather than reactive. We recognise our role of governance and delegate management to the Principal.
