Board of Trustees


The board’s role is to oversee the governance of its school and to ensure that everything that needs to be done gets done – legally, ethically, and as well as possible in the best interests of its students. The Te Waotu School Board of Trustees meet twice a term in the school staff room, and can be contacted via the school office. Meeting dates are published in the school newsletter.
