Kaunihera Tumuaki o NZEI Te Riu Roa

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.

The work of the Council

The Council meets regularly to progress work to address issues faced by principals and to undertake projects aimed at improving support for the mahi of principals. At all times the Council aims to ensure that the interests of all principals are understood and acted on. This is done through ensuring that there is strong representation from across the sector. There is information below about representatives on the Council and how principals can contact them to get updates on activity and issues, share feedback, make suggestions or to seek advice.
