Board of Trustees

Welcome to Kerikeri High School.

As Board members, we have a strong desire to see all Kerikeri High School students achieve and thrive in their education. Using our combined skills and experience, we are committed to supporting the staff of Kerikeri High School to provide our children with the best education possible.

Our role as Board members is to provide governance support to our Principal and to set the strategic direction for the school to ensure continual growth and outstanding achievement. In addition, the Board is committed to our ongoing partnership with Ngāti Rēhia, who provide leadership and support to our school, ensuring an enriched cultural experience and equitable outcomes for all our ākonga/learners.

The Board consists of six elected Parent Trustees, a Ngāti Rēhia Trustee, the Principal, a Staff Trustee, and a Student Trustee. The Parent Trustees and the Staff Trustee are elected on a three yearly cycle. The Student Trustee is elected by Year 9 -13 students annually.

Full Board meetings are held twice a term in the School's Boardroom at 5.30pm. Members of the public are welcome to attend.

Annual Report

PTA

Who Are We?

The Kerikeri High School Parent Teacher Association is a group of enthusiastic parents and caregivers. The PTA provides a valuable channel of communication and an opportunity to meet other parents, helping to build connections that will continue during your time as a Kerikeri High school parent and beyond. Our major event each year is organising supper for the School's formal Senior Ball in Term 3.  We also do some volunteer work at school including counting Work Day money, and polishing trophies for Prizegivings.

The support and time volunteered by members of the PTA ensure that these events and programmes continue for the benefit of our students. Any help is truly appreciated, by the PTA, staff and students. The PTA meets once a month and new committee members and supporters are always welcomed. Meetings are advertised on the School App.

There are two main ways that you can take an active interest in Kerikeri High School.

Join the PTA

New committee members are always welcome. Come along to a meeting and find out how you can get involved in PTA events. Commitment is minimal with three to four meetings a year and one major event being the Senior Ball.

Become a Supporter of the PTA

If you are not able to attend the meetings but would still like to help, we can add your details to our email database and contact you if needed.
