School holidays start on Monday, 30th June. We look forward to welcoming students back on Monday, 14th July.

Board of Trustees

The Oranga School Board is responsible for the governance of the school.

Working alongside the Principal, the Board helps ensure our school provides a safe, high-quality learning environment where every student can succeed.

The Board’s key responsibilities include:

  • Setting the school’s strategic direction and goals.

  • Monitoring student achievement and wellbeing.

  • Overseeing the school’s finances, property, and resources.

  • Employing and supporting the Principal.

  • Ensuring the school meets its legal and ethical responsibilities.

While the Board focuses on the overall direction and governance of the school, the Principal is responsible for the day-to-day management and operation of the school.

The Board is made up of elected parent representatives, the Principal, and a staff representative. Parent representatives are elected by the school community every three years.
