Epsom Girls Grammar School, Te Kura Tuarua o Ngā Taitamāhine o Maungawhau, is a school that strives for excellence: in performance, in the connections between people and in its pastoral supports. As a school we have always taken girls’ education seriously and, in all that we do, we seek to grow women of great character. In our kura we value courage, aroha, community, and manawa reka, and these values are woven through our words and our actions – from a governance level through to a classroom and co‑curricular level, as well as in informal interactions on campus, and in the community.

We are a large, urban school for girls, with a current role of 2,300 students. Our expert staff teach towards the national qualification, NCEA, and we also offer Cambridge International courses and learning (where appropriate). We have a large co‑curricular programme of sports, visual and performing arts, cultural expression as well as charity and service opportunities. Our staff are expected to take an active role in supporting the co‑curricular programme of the school, by coaching or managing teams and groups.

Due to a recent retirement we are looking for an experienced educator with a proven track record of effective leadership to join our Senior Leadership Team. The successful applicant will have a passion for leading and supporting an environment where all girls can thrive and achieve their highest aspirations. They will also be able to demonstrate effective communication skills, courageous and innovative problem solving and enjoy working in a high‑performing team environment.

The specific area(s) of responsibility for the successful candidate will depend on the strengths they can contribute to the Leadership Team so we invite experienced educational leaders who enjoy working hard and seeing improved student outcomes as the result, to apply.
