Our People
We welcome Parents/Whanau and encourage them to make appointments to discuss any concerns or questions about their children at school. This can be done directly with the teacher or through the Office. Senior school leaders [Deputy and Associate Principals and SENCo] also invite Parents/Whanau who may wish to discuss requests, questions, or concerns.
We ensure regular contact with Parents/Whanau through our school newsletters which are emailed fortnightly. In addition, each class has a termly newsletter. Occasionally urgent messages are sent via Facebook, text message or Edge.
Our school also provides several ways to help parents/families get to know classroom teachers and staff members. These include – Powhiri, BBQ and Performance Nights, Information Evenings, 3 Way Conference and the Community Cultural Evenings; Hui and Fono.

School Board
Our School Board ‘governs’ the school direction and works closly with and to support the Principal who is responsible for day to day management of our school. They meet at least 8 times a year. Meetings take place in the main Meeting Room [entrance off Great South Road] and meeting dates and times are advertised in our School Newsletter and on our School Website.
Members of the public, who wish to attend, are most welcome. Members of the public who attend do not have speaking rights unless invited to speak. We encourage you to notify the Board Chair or Board Secretary – Barbara Ferregel [barbabaf@papint.school.nz], prior to the meeting if you would like to speak.
If you wish to view the agenda for a Board meeting it can be obtained from the office on the Wednesday before the meeting. Minutes of the Board meetings are available on our school website, after they have been ratified at a Board meeting.
Board Elections 2025 – this year, in September, we will be holding elections for the Board. We do anticipate that some Board members will be standing down because several have served on our Board for a considerable amount of time. If you are interested in standing for the Board please contact Barbara Ferregel [Board Secretary] – barbaraf@papint.school.nz, and she will provide you with a Board member to talk with and information about what Board members do and how to stand for election.
