Wigram Primary School | Te Piki Kāhu is seeking an inspiring and future-focused tumuaki, principal to lead our vibrant and inclusive Year 1–6 learning community located in the heart of the growing Wigram Skies community in Christchurch.

Housed in a modern facility built 7 years ago, our school has expanded alongside the Wigram community and following two major additions, our footprint now features 23 classrooms with a capacity of 525 students.

Our vision, “Learning together, soaring to new heights”, reflects our commitment to ensuring tamariki flourish academically, socially, emotionally and culturally. We are proud of our diverse and multicultural community and seek a leader who will continue to strengthen high-quality teaching and learning, inclusive practice, wellbeing and strong educational outcomes for all learners.

The successful applicant will:

• be a visible, relational and collaborative leader
• champion excellence in literacy, numeracy and future-focused learning
• foster strong partnerships with whānau and the wider community
• uphold and strengthen our HEART values:
  Hauora, Explore, Aspire, Respect and Taonga
• lead with integrity, compassion and a commitment to continuous improvement.

This is an exciting opportunity to work alongside a committed Board, experienced leadership team and a fantastic group of passionate and dedicated staff, as we continue to shape the future of our growing school.
