Board of Trustees

Meet the wonderful  members of our Tīrau Primary School Board of Trustees

The Board of Trustees would like to welcome all children and staff back to school this year.  We would especially like to welcome the new entrants and their families who have recently arrived in our neighbourhood.  We also extend a warm welcome to new staff members who may join our team during the year.

We, as a Board, offer our full support to our principal Siobhan Patterson and the management team, Mrs Denise Mathers as Deputy Principal and Mrs Nesta Baigent as Assistant Principal. We have entrusted them with the responsibility of managing the day-to-day operations of the school.  We also invite all children, their families and staff to join the Board in offering their support to the management team.

Policies adopted by the Board of Trustees are available at our school office for your perusal.

The Board of Trustee meetings are usually held on a Thursday at 6.30pm in the Library. Dates for these will be published in our fortnightly newsletters. Parents and the public are welcome to attend.

We look forward to working and socialising with you all this year and wish you and, in particular, the children of the school, the very best for 2024.
