The school Board has the responsibility of governing the school. They welcome input from parents and regularly seek to consult with the community when establishing the school's direction, writing policies and forming long term plans, etc. The Board is made up of five elected parents, one staff trustee and the Principal. Elections are held every three years.
Board meetings are held twice per term and all parents are welcome to attend. Any issues or concerns regarding the management and delivery of the school curriculum should be addressed with the appropriate staff member in the first instance, and governance issues taken up with a Board member or the Board Chair. You are welcome to view our school policies, board minutes and reports. Please contact the school office or Principal if you would like to do so.
Elections for all parent and staff positions on the Board are held every three years. This is currently underway, with an Election date of 10th September 2025.
Nominations have been called for and close at 12 noon on Wednesday 6th August 2025. Nomination forms and accompanying letters were sent to all parents, caregivers and staff members on the school electoral roll via email and/or paper copies. More copies are available from the school office.
For any queries regarding the Board Elections please contact the Returning Officer, Roxanne Hepi, via the school office 07 827 1727 office@rotoorangi.school.nz
