Beachlands School

This is Your Opportunity!

Full Primary | Approx 700 students

Our well-respected Principal has retired, and we now look to appoint that special person to lead our kura into the future.

Beachlands School is a large full primary school on the beautiful Pohutukawa Coast. The Beachlands community is a 20-minute drive to Howick, Manukau and Botany shopping areas, and a 30-minute ferry ride leaving from Pine Harbour and arriving in the heart of Queen Street.

Our vision - ‘Everyday Learning & Growing Together’ – ‘Me mātau Ra’ underpins all we do. Our FERN values (Friendship, Encouragement, Respect and Nurture) are central to the way we interact as a school community.

We strive to deliver evidence-based literacy and numeracy while maintaining a well-balanced curriculum and holistic focus including STEM, EOTC, arts, culture, and sport. Te Reo and Tikanga Māori are valued and interwoven throughout our curriculum.

Our Board is collaborative and supports our school leaders and staff to implement the school’s vision and strategic plan.

Are you:

• experienced in giving effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi
• committed to evidence-based pedagogy with an in depth understanding of the New Zealand curriculum
• a passionate educator committed to student learning and improving outcomes for all
• a leader with strong personal values, humble and who models ethical behaviour
• experienced in building strong relationships with staff, students and whānau
• a person who will have presence in our wider community.
• able to build successful teams and encourage a culture that values “team”

If this describes you, then this is your opportunity. Don’t let us pass you by! We encourage you to explore our school and we welcome your application.
