OUR BOARD OF TRUSTEES

The Parkvale School Board is responsible for the governance and strategic direction of our school. Working in partnership with the Principal, the Board sets the vision and priorities, oversees finances and resources, and ensures the school meets its legal obligations while supporting positive outcomes for all ākonga.

The Board focuses on the big picture, setting the direction for where our school is heading rather than managing its day to day operations. The Principal and staff are responsible for putting this direction into practice, including teaching, learning, staffing and the daily running of the school.

Our Board is made up of elected parent representatives, the Principal and a staff representative. Together, we are committed to ensuring Parkvale School remains a safe, inclusive and high performing learning environment where every child can thrive.

Board meetings are held regularly throughout the year, and members of our school community are welcome to contact the Board through the school office.

Aaron O'Neill

Principal

I’m proud to be the Principal of Parkvale School and bring extensive experience in educational leadership, having previously led schools in Hastings and Central Hawke’s Bay. I’m passionate about building a positive school culture where strong relationships, high expectations and quality teaching are at the heart of everything we do.

I’m also the Immediate Past President of the Hawke’s Bay Primary Principals’ Association and enjoy contributing to education across our region.

Outside of school, I enjoy spending time with my wife Kelly and our three boys, exploring all that Hawke’s Bay has to offer.
