Featherston School Te Kura o Paetūmokai Wellington

Principal/Tumuaki

Featherston School Te Kura O Paetūmokai is a highly regarded kura with a proud history. We have amazing tamariki, a dedicated staff, and a fantastic whānau and community that really supports our kura. Our rich local curriculum is underpinned by Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Te Marautanga o Ngāti Kahungunu ki Wairarapa me Rangitane o Wairarapa. It provides our tamariki with a rich understanding of Ko Wai Au – who they are and where they are from while still prioritising the core curriculum. Te Ao Māori remains an integral part of who we are as a kura but we also acknowledge and celebrate our multicultural origins.

The Tumuaki of our Kura will be:

• A leader who is committed to leading with strong focus on the hauora of our tamariki, staff, whānau and wider community.
• A leader who is an excellent communicator and builds strong relationships with people. They will be fair, honest, respectful, and have integrity.
• A leader who is visible, known and involved with our tamariki, our staff, our whānau, and out in our wonderful artisan community.
• An experienced, strong and professional leader who is passionate about equitable outcomes for all within the Kura community.
• A leader committed to their own learning who is ready to try new ideas and lead a forward-thinking team.
• A leader who encourages and inspires the Featherston School Te Kura O Paetūmokai team.
• A leader who models the values and principles of Featherston School Te Kura o Paetūmokai to our tamariki, kaiako, whānau and wider community.

This is an exciting opportunity that will be both challenging and rewarding for the successful candidate.
