Staff - 2023
Karori Normal School is fortunate to have highly qualified and experienced staff. The Board of Trustees recognises that staff development and training are important factors in the provision of high quality programmes, and funds the staff development budget generously. Many staff members are also undertaking study to improve their qualifications and keep abreast of changes in curriculum and teaching methods.
In addition, there are Lead Teachers who have responsibility for Sport, the Library, Information and Communication Technology, Literacy, Numeracy, ESOL, Special Education, Maori and The Arts.
