U4 Tumuaki/Principal

Inspire, empower, and lead our kura into the future

Are you an innovative, approachable, and compassionate educational leader who puts tamariki at the heart of every decision?

We are seeking a leader who values authentic relationships, honours Te Tiriti, and brings a relaxed, inclusive, and fun energy to our school culture.

These are our strengths:

• A tamariki-first culture: a deep commitment to spending today’s resources on today’s children, building strong relationships, and nurturing small class learning environments.
• An empowering and collaborative environment: staff who are trained in BSLA and structured Maths, strengths-based teaching and strong learning support (including dedicated Teaching Assistants and ORS support).
• A positive kura spirit: authentic and warm relationships between staff, students and whānau. We love having fun and there is always laughter in the staffroom, playground and classrooms.

Are you:

• Authentic and transparent with high personal integrity, clear communication and a collaborative approach to decision-making?
• Visible, engaging and active in the playground, connected with the classrooms, and committed to building strong, trusting relationships with staff, tamariki, whānau, and the wider community?
• A leader who helps grow others through providing opportunities and targeted professional learning?

If you are a passionate, inspirational leader who is ready to continue our positive trajectory without losing what makes Huia Range School special, we would love to hear from you.
