The NZSTA serves as an advocacy and support group for school boards in New Zealand. They provide support, advice and resources for school board members.
“I am so pleased to be able to continue this work on behalf of our members, build on what we have already achieved and continue to advocate for and support Aotearoa’s school boards, to continue to provide a better educational future for our ākonga,” said Kerr.
Returning to the board are Joycelyn TM Tauevihi, Meredith Kennett and Chris Haines. Incoming members include Wayne McGillivray, Dr Moses Ma’alo Faleolo and Mac Guptill.
McGillivray brings experience from the compulsory education sector, including working with specialist and deaf education services. He is Manahautū for a kaupapa Māori PTE as well as the Presiding Member of William Colenso college.
Dr Ma’alo Faleolo brings experience from the youth justice, health and social development sector. He is the Presiding Member at Kelston Boys’ High School and is also on the board of Massey High School, and the combined board of Halswell Residential College and Westbridge Residential.
Guptill is a carpenter, social worker and pastor who has spent 26 years in various volunteer positions at schools, including as a sports coach, mentor and chaplain. He is the Presiding Member at One Tree Hill College and also sits on the board of Bailey Road Primary and Intermediate School.
“Together, this represents a diverse board in terms of skillset, background and range of experience,” said Kerr.
“We look forward to working together to ensure NZSTA is governed in a way that all boards receive the support they need to ensure every child, through the decisions made, receives the quality education they deserve.”
