Are you a passionate and culturally responsive educator ready to make a real impact?

Te Kamo High School is a well-resourced co-educational school in Whāngarei with approximately 800 students. Our school is committed to supporting our learners to pursue excellence and to develop as positive contributors in our community. 

Our school values are deeply rooted in Māori principles and guide everything we do: Tū pono (pride), Aroha Atu (respect), Tū Tonu (perseverance), Ōna Tū (self-management), and Urunga (participation). These values inspire our students to be the best versions of themselves, both personally and academically.

As a community-focused school, we encourage all staff to contribute to the wide range of learning opportunities we offer. We are seeking a secondary-trained teacher who embodies manaakitanga (hospitality, kindness, generosity) and whānaungatanga (respectful and meaningful relationships). The successful applicant will hold high expectations for their students and be dedicated to helping Māori to achieve success as Māori.

Over the last few years, we have redeveloped our school systems to ensure that our school is meeting the needs of the learners and the community. As a result of improved outcomes, the school has grown in number, and it is now time for us to add to our senior leadership team. This role is an addition to the leadership team long-term to assist with continued improvements, as well as supporting the implementation of the many new initiatives that education is facing at the present time and into our future.

In the short term, this role will be utilised to cover for an assistant principal who will be on sabbatical for Term 3. Beyond that time, we will review portfolio roles amongst the senior leadership team based on skill and capabilities.

Please feel free to contact the school to discuss this opportunity with the Principal.
