Board Elections 2022
Why join our Board
School board members are active leaders in our schools. They have an important role of supporting strong professional leadership and ensuring effective teaching for all students through informed governance.
Parents/caregivers and people in the wider community can be parent representatives. School boards must represent their school communities' diversity to ensure a bright future for all our children.
School board elections are the opportunity to vote for candidates who will make a positive difference in children’s education. We need more people willing to use their skills and experiences to benefit students!

Time to nominate - before noon on Wednesday 3 August, please.
You should have received a nomination form from our school via an email via Hero.
As you fill out the nomination form, think about good reasons why you or the person
you are nominating should be on your school board.
Note: If you are nominating someone, make sure you and the person you are nominating sign the form. If you’re nominating yourself, make sure you sign both sections (candidate and nominee).
Once complete, send it back to your returning officer by the date specified on your form.
If you don’t have children at the school and still wish to step forward for the school, you’ll need someone on the parent electoral roll to nominate you.
How do I fill out a candidate statement?
If you’re the candidate, you can submit an optional statement (up to 400 words) and a photograph. Your candidate statement may include:
- Experience
- Qualifications
- Abilities
- Previous involvement with the school
- Reasons for standing for election
- Interests
- Anything else that can be reasonably linked to the education of children
You must make sure your signed candidate statement is received by the returning officer by the deadline shown on your form.
If you have questions, call us on 09 8361213 and ask for Julie or ring NZSTA on 0800 353 284.
