PPCB
PPCB exists to be a powerful “by principals for principals’ voice, within the collective bargaining process for the Primary Principals’ Collective Agreement.
Our union represents a modern, collaborative view of the principle of collectivism that underpins representation in the workplace and we have a growing membership base. A higher quality of outcome will be generated for primary principals with PPCB at the bargaining table.
Principal voice has been diluted in past collective bargaining rounds. PPCB will protect principals’ voices from being subsumed by other voices in the vast education workforce and is determined to bring a strong focus to principals’ concerns and aspirations.
Real problems of practice will be brought to the fore and we will energetically challenge conventions that need urgent change in the modern workplace.
PPCB is singularly focused on Collective Bargaining. While advice about the terms and conditions of the Collective Agreement will be available through PPCB, it is not intended to give other legal or industrial advice to members.
Should employment related advice and support be required, members can subscribe to the NZPF Principals’ Advice and Support Limited (PASL), which provides legal support services to members.
The fee to join PPCB is deliberately set at a low rate. This makes subscription to both PASL and PPCB affordable. By subscribing to both entities, principals set themselves up across a suite of services to be well represented in the terms and conditions of their employment and well supported in managing the risks associated with their employment.
The Primary Principals’ Collective Bargaining (PPCB) offers a genuine shift in the workplace conditions of principals’ employment.
I invite you to join our growing, grassroots membership to win better conditions for principals. The link will go live next week.
Mā te Tumuaki, mō te Tumuaki!

2022 NZPF Moot
Last year we indicated through this newsletter, that the 2022 NZPF Moot would be held on 18 March, 2022. Due to the current predictions that the Omicron variant of COVID-19 is likely to be peaking around that time, the NZPF executive has decided to postpone the Moot and has instead set the date of Friday 10 June for the 2022 Moot.
If you are a president of your local principals' association this year, please record this date in your diary. We shall keep you updated with any further information you need to prepare for the Moot.
