St Mary's Primary School is located in Hokitika on the West Coast, with many great outdoor activities on our doorstep including cycle trails, beaches, and lakes. Our Special Character and Catholic Mercy School status, small, supportive, diverse school culture and community are what set us apart. To reflect these features, we are seeking a candidate who will honour our Special Character and is used to smaller town life or seeking a change of pace.
St Mary's School is a smaller school with around 125 students across six classrooms. The size of our school means we can provide high quality, personalised learning that leverages the many opportunities available within our community, parish, and natural environment. Our community and parish are important features of our school's culture and to ensure these close relationships are maintained, we are looking for somebody with experience building trust-based, reciprocal relationships within a relatively small community setting.
Our school is looking for a passionate, experienced, adaptable leader who will embed our vision and values across the school while upholding our Catholic Special Character. This is alongside ensuring the school is managed effectively, staff are supported, and community connections are fostered.
A successful candidate will need to:
Be an effective school leader with experience in school leadership and management.
Have good communication skills with a history of building positive, trust-based, effective relationships with akonga, staff, whanau, Board, our parish, and community.
Be able to honour the history, values, virtues, and surrounding environment of our school, particularly our Catholic Special Character and giving effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi.
Foster a positive school culture which promotes student achievement and wellbeing, including staff wellbeing, and recognises and celebrates the diversity of our multicultural school community.
Be committed to providing a wide range of learning opportunities for all akonga.
