Convener - Calling for Expressions of Interest

NZPF hosts an annual conference for school leaders. For the past three years, NZPF has organized the conference under the leadership of a convener.  The Convener we have employed for this role has now resigned. We are now seeking expressions of interest to appoint a new Conference Convener for the NZPF 2021 conference, which will be held in Christchurch. For further information please contact our NZPF National Office.

Next year, we will join our Australian colleagues in Melbourne for the Trans-Tasman conference. That conference is organized by a joint organizing committee of both Australian and NZPF conference organizers.
