Deputy Principal

We are seeking a deputy principal with outstanding communication skills who also has excellent, high-level classroom experience, a deep knowledge of the revised curriculum and a working understanding of explicit instruction. We need someone with the ability to problem solve themselves and a team of others out of a tricky situation in enemy territory with a short supply of rations while enemy planes are flying overhead. A job list includes but is certainly not limited to leading te reo Māori across the school, the continued leading of the development of a behaviour curriculum in the school, the constant reconstruction and evaluation of the school assessment schedule, leading staff meetings and managing teacher release across the large school. Our new deputy principal will have strong external networks and links to the wider educational landscape. They will be an outstanding, nimble and determined leader focused on student outcomes. Management units and any teaching component will be negotiated with the successful applicant.
