Red Hill School Board of Trustees
Mr David Hopkins (Chair), Charlotte Castle (Principal), Patricia Edwards, Kaela Daniels, Millie Moerua, and David Denny form our current Board of Trustees.
The Board of Trustees ( BOT) works closely with the Principal and staff of Red Hill School to ensure every child is supported in their learning.
We are excited to see the development of the new school building project with the completion of phase one at the end of Term Two. This has taken a number of years working with the Ministry Of Education to become a reality. The Principal, leaders and teachers have worked to ensure the transition from the current work spaces to the new school, when it is finished, is a smooth one.
The BOT has been impressed with the changes taking place across the school as teachers and students teach and learn together. Our Year 5 to 8 students have been working with digital devices for four years now. Leaders and teachers report stronger engagement in learning (particularly for boys) and students who are using a wide range of sources to access and use information which they then use to create something new which they can share with others.

The Board's Role
The Board's Role
The Board of Trustees is responsible for ensuring the school complies with all legal directives made by the government and the Ministry of Education. This is done by ensuring we have robust policies and procedures in place. There is a clearly documented line between Board work and management work. Boards of Trustees govern (oversee management) and Principals manage the school. It is not the role of the Board of Trustees to be involved in the day-to-day operation of the school, this is the responsibility of the Principal and the school staff.
Board work is primarily about governance of the school. Governance involves setting strategic direction through our vision, core values and strategic goals. Core work of the board includes setting targets and tracking student progress. This also includes regular review of curriculum areas. The Board monitors financial expenditure of the school and sets a yearly budget alongside the Principal. We also establish long term property plans and prioritize property projects with allocated funds.
