Thank you for taking time to review this prospectus. NZSTA has
a critical voice in the education sector and continuously seeks to
lead and strengthen school governance.
To do this we work with an extensive network of stakeholders
including central government, compulsory schooling providers,
other education associations and agencies as well as key
suppliers and providers.
I welcome your interest not only in our conference, but also
in the work that we do to effectively govern schools so that
every student in New Zealand realises their highest possible
educational potential.

    Member boards of trustees took control of
    NZSTA following the inaugural annual general
    meeting in May 1990, when member boards
    adopted the first NZSTA constitution.

    Since 1990 member boards of trustees have
    ‘owned’ and controlled NZSTA through a
    governing board elected by the membership.
