To the Whenuakite School Families and Whanau
It is with great pleasure that the Board of Trustees announce the appointment of Gary Veysi as the new Principal of our school. Gary is a highly experienced and highly respected educator and leader. He is currently the Principal at Mamaku School near Rotorua and has been in that role for the past 9 years. He has been a Principal in Rural Schools for over 18 years.
Gary brings with him the drive, vision and leadership to provide the best possible learning environment for our students and staff. He has a real passion for schools, their community and culture. Gary will take up his new position on Monday 29 April 2024 commencing at the start of Term two.
That is a normal process as he is required to give 2 months notice and this also allows for both Mamuka and Whenuakite to make a positive and successful transition.
The Board is in the process of confirming a senior leader to cover the Principal's role in term one 2024. We will update school staff and the community as soon as possible.
The Board is indebted to Eamonn for his long and distinguished service to our School and Community over the past six years. We wish him all the very best in his new role at Riverview Primary in Kerikeri.
