School Board Elections 2025:
We’re on the lookout for enthusiastic, community-minded parents and caregivers to stand for election as parent representatives on our school board this September!
Our school board should represent the diversity of our school community to ensure a bright future for all our children - all kinds of skills and experiences are of real benefit to our learners.
Being a parent rep is a rewarding way to contribute to our school’s direction and success. No previous board experience is needed — there are plenty of resources, training, and support available to help you learn the ropes and feel confident in the role.
What’s involved?
A 3-year term
Around 8 board meetings a year
Each meeting runs for approximately 1.5 hours after 5pm, plus some time to read board papers beforehand
To nominate yourself, or someone else in our community, you can enter your nomination/s using this link HERE.
Thinking about it but not sure? You’re invited to attend our upcoming board meeting on Thursday 31 July as an observer. It’s a great opportunity to see how the board works and ask questions before deciding to stand.
Come along, get involved, and help shape the future of our school. We’d love to see you there! For more information or to express interest, please contact Paula Harvey by email, paula.h@cms.school.nz
