Principal

Wā Ora Montessori School Board is excited to offer you the opportunity to lead our school,
as our new Principal | Tumuaki. As a co-educational, state-integrated school with a private
preschool, catering for students from 3 to 18 years old, we deeply value our Montessori
philosophy.
Our mission is to support the development of each individual child, so they can be the best
they can be. We believe that our unique combination of Montessori curriculum, learning
materials, environment and community best recognises the student’s full potential and
enables them to develop the knowledge, skills and attitudes to live and succeed in today’s
changing world.  At Wā Ora Montessori, we aim to nurture in the child an innate love of
learning that will stay with them throughout their life. To do this, we provide a learning
environment that meets the individual needs and interests of the whole child and is based
on an authentic Montessori pedagogy.
Our well-appointed school is located in Naenae, Lower Hutt, around 30 minutes’ drive from
Wellington CBD and within the rohe of Te Āti Awa.
We enjoy rewarding parent, whānau, iwi and wider community partnerships. Our teachers
and staff are a dedicated group of professionals, who provide high-quality teaching and
support for our students.
If you have the passion to champion our Montessori special character; if you have proven
skills leading curriculum, teaching and learning; if you can inspire and support all in our
community to be their best for our students, we would love to hear from you.
