New Principal appointed to Waerenga School

We are very pleased to confirm that we have made an appointment to the position of Teaching Principal at school.

Mr Haydn Wright will join our team at the beginning of Term 4 2017.

Haydn is currently Deputy Principal at Kaponga Primary School in South Taranaki and teaches in a Year 7-8 classroom. He is married to Jessie and they have 3 children – Grace (age 7), Joshua (age 5) and Violet (age 2). They also have another child on the way, due in October. Haydn has special teaching interests in digital technologies, sports & outdoor activities, and plays a key role in the Maths Leadership Team in his cluster group of schools. Recently, he was responsible for designing and building a ‘green room’ at his school which the students have loved using to make films. In his spare time he is a volunteer firefighter, a local church minister, and a Warriors supporter.

The appointment process was very rigorous. The Board of Trustees shortlisted a very strong pool of candidates then visited each in their current school and invited them to inspect our school. Following the interviews held on Saturday, we agreed to appoint Haydn. We believe he will complement our students, our values, and our culture and will be great at supporting and growing our school into the future.

We know you will all make him welcome and a part of our community and of the next chapter for Waerenga School.

Warm regards
Jo Hosking, on behalf of the Board of Trustees
