BOARD OF TRUSTEES
The Apanui School Board is responsible for ensuring that Apanui School provides a safe environment and quality education for all students.
The Board is the employer of all staff and is responsible for the governance of curriculum, staffing, property, finance, and administration. The Principal, as the school’s professional and educational leader, is responsible for the day-to-day management of the school within the policies and delegations set by the Board.
The school’s strategic direction is set through our Strategic Plan, developed in partnership with Apanui School’s parents, caregivers, and wider community. The Strategic Plan sets out our long-term goals and priorities, and our Annual Implementation Plan outlines the specific actions and targets we will focus on each year.
Other key planning documents the Board is responsible for are the Five Year Agreement (5YA) and Ten Year Property Plan (10YPP), which provide the funding plan and priorities for property development and maintenance in partnership with the Ministry of Education.
