Key Tasks
Council members and their associates act as a key link liaising with local associations,
providing leadership and communications in the rollout of campaigns and other NZEI Te Riu
Roa initiatives across their regions.
For over 30 years our Principals' Council (the Council) has provided a strong voice for principals in the work of NZEI Te Riu Roa and the wider education sector. The Council focusses on bringing the voice and views of principals to inform, shape and lead NZEI Te Riu Roa national campaigns and strategic planning.
Our council is a unique peak body made up of representatives from all parts of NZEI Te Riu Roa joined by representatives of national principals’ organisations.
You can find out who the members of each group is, and their contact details on this page.
