Board of Trustees
The Whakatāne High School Board of Trustees exists primarily to govern the school on behalf of the community and as such we are tasked with continuously improving student progress and achievement outcomes through strategic leadership and direction to the school. Whakatāne High School’s Charter, containing the Strategic Plan, sets out our values and those characteristics that make Whakatāne High School unique.
The Board is made up of members from a cross-section of society. We are accountable to the parents, students, the crown and our community to ensure that the school delivers on its strategic objectives.
