BOARD ELECTIONS 2025

Friday, 18th July 2025 at 10:30am

School board elections are approaching in September and the school is putting out a call to parents and community members to consider standing for election.

Green Bay High School's current board wants to help make sure that the new board consists of a positive group of people, representing all parts of our diverse community, who are prepared to contribute time and energy for the benefit of the whole school.

Learn more about our board HERE.

The nomination process for Green Bay High School Board elections has started and nominations are now open. We have five spaces for parent representatives on the Green Bay High School Board. We have appointed Schooled Election Pilot as the Returning Officer for the election, they will be handling the election process and you will see communications directly from them.

Everyone who is eligible to vote in the election will receive a nomination pack (either via email or post). The info pack will contain everything you need to nominate yourself or another member of the community. (If you are going to nominate someone else, just make sure they know about it and will accept the nomination!) It will also include information about who isn’t able to be a School Board member.

If you need extra forms, or want a copy of the nomination form in Te Reo Māori or another language, just contact the Returning Officer from Election Pilot directly on 0800 VOTENZ (0800 868 369) or [email protected]

If you are interested in standing for the school board, that’s fantastic - reach out to us with any questions you might have.

You may also be interested in the ‘Kōrari for Aspiring Board Members’ a free webinar run by Te Whakarōputanga Kaitiaki Kura o Aotearoa/New Zealand School Boards Association on Tuesday 22 July, exploring what school boards do, how members are elected, what’s involved in and the role and where to get support (click here to enrol).

Don’t leave things to the last minute, because nominations close at noon on 6 August. You can email in your nomination, complete it online at www.boardelections.nz or fill it in and drop it off to the school office. You can also send in a candidate statement and smiling photo with your nomination as well.

A copy of the electoral roll is kept at the school office and is available to be checked during usual school hours.

Voting will end at 4pm on 10 September 2025.
