and practices that lead to successful education administration
in schools.

quality responses from government, educational agencies, and
employer groups on matters pertaining to education in the

• To provide professional and collegial support to school

• To promote co-operation between all education providers
including primary schools, early childhood centres, secondary

• To promote opportunities for members to network, support
and learn from each other and become more directly involved
in the work of the Association.
• To liaise with groups and organisations having similar
interests both within New Zealand and overseas.
• To ensure that the Association has sufficient resources
to carry out its aims and develop skills and opportunities.

We have over these years fostered strong relationships with
the local Ministry of Education, Victoria University of Wellington

and the New Zealand Educational Institute Principals’
Council. We have also founded strong business partnerships

We continue to listen to issues facing Principals and the
executive endeavours to place importance to these issues and
make them part of our business at the general meetings. We
strongly promote our network as a supportive professional
learning community for principals. Wellington Regional Primary
Principals' Association encourages all principals to attend
our general meetings, functions and seminars to learn from
speakers and from each other.
