In the wake of Greg Pierce's resignation at the close of the previous school year, the Orewa College Board of Trustees is actively propelling the search for a new educational leader.

This development presents a crucial juncture for the board, offering an opportunity to meticulously select a distinguished candidate to steer the college into its next chapter.

As part of this significant process, the Board is extending an invitation to the community, seeking valuable insights on the qualities and attributes they wish to see in the next principal.

The collaborative effort aims to align the expectations of both the board and the community, ensuring a collective vision for the leadership of Orewa College.

To facilitate this inclusive approach, the Board has enlisted the services of Edsolnz, a trusted recruitment agency.

The engagement with Edsolnz underscores the board's commitment to a thorough and transparent selection process that incorporates community perspectives.

Peter Gall and Michael Leach, representatives from Edsolnz, will be physically present at the college's boardroom on January 25, 2024, from midday until 6.00 pm.

This dedicated time slot provides an opportunity for community members to provide in-person feedback, actively contributing to the criteria set for the new principal.

For those unable to attend the in-person session, Peter Gall and Michael Leach are readily accessible via email at [email protected] and [email protected], respectively.

The board recognizes that the insights and perspectives of parents are invaluable in identifying the qualities that will define the future leader of Orewa College.

The consultation process marks a critical phase in the selection of a new principal for Orewa College, and the engagement of parents and community members is deemed essential for a comprehensive decision-making process.
