Tumeke Tumuaki is an initiative which recognises and celebrates the amazing contribution principals make to education.
This year the event will be celebrated on Wednesday 1 November.
Some key points about Tumeke Tumuaki and how it can celebrate your tumuaki:
• Tumeke Tumuaki is our chance to thank principals for the job they do as the cornerstone of our education system
• We can use the day to highlight the work that principals do for their schools, tamariki and communities, which often goes unsung
• Recognise principals and their leadership
• Acknowledge that principals often prioritise the wellbeing of their students, staff and community at the expense of their own
• Principals have an essential role within communities throughout Aotearoa ensuring all aspects of schooling are taken care of so that all tamariki benefit
• Tumeke Tumuaki shows our commitment to listening to principals and standing beside them to address the issues that need to be resolved to make their professional lives manageable and sustainable.
