  • Brings calm, consistent energy and creates a purposeful, engaging learning environment.

  • Has a clear, structured approach to teaching and learning, grounded in evidence-based practice.

An advantage:

  • Familiarity with the refreshed New Zealand Curriculum and evidence based approaches for behaviour management. 

What we offer

  • A small, friendly team who support one another and enjoy their work.

  • Engaged learners who love coming to school.

  • A community that backs its school and values our efforts.

  • Leadership that focuses on realistic expectations, wellbeing, and continuous improvement.

Tasman School is a place where relationships matter, learning is purposeful, and teachers are trusted and supported to do their best work.
