School Board
As a state-integrated school, we have a School Board made up of elected parents, appointed Proprietor representatives, a staff representative and the Principal. The Board is charged (by the Crown) with governing the school – setting its direction and ensuring it is meeting the expressed intentions through good stewardship of the resources the school has.
You can contact the board by email board@emmanuelchristian.school.nz
Currently the School board has the following members:
Warren Rosser – Presiding Member (Chair) – Parent Elected Representative
Natalie Sterne – Parent Elected Representative
Ruth Murray – Proprietor appointee
Kim Coleman – Staff elected Representative
Alistair McKinnon – Principal
Lucy Harema – Parent Elected Representative
Shawn Liu – Parent Elected Representative
John Hastie – Proprietor appointee
Rod Thompson – Proprietor appointee
Board of Proprietors
As a state integrated school, we are owned by the Proprietors of the school not the Government. The Proprietors are a trust who are charged with the protection of the special character of the school. They also own and develop the land and buildings of the school. The attendance dues charged by the Proprietors are a compulsory fee that all parents must pay each year. This fee goes to the Proprietors (not the Board of Trustees) and can only be used for the development of the land and buildings.
The proprietors of Emmanuel Christian School are the Emmanuel Proprietors Trust (EPT)
