The Staff
I love working at Ara Tū Whakatā Gilberthorpe School. When I come to school I am surrounded by people, young and old, who teach me new things every day. They inspire me, are enthusiastic and compassionate. All the people at school make me feel valued and supported.
Ara Tu Whakata is a place for all to come together. It is a brilliant school with a vibrant feel. I am grateful to have the privilege to work with such beautiful human beings and I enjoy instilling the fantastic Gilberthorpe values that we hold firmly onto. Go Gilby!
He tangata, he tangata, he tangata! People, people, people. I love working with a wonderful group of staff, curious and enthusiastic students and their caring, loving whanau. We have a fantastic community that look out for each other and work together to ensure the wellbeing of all is at the forefront.
On our Board of Trustees, we have our principal, a staff representative and five parent representatives.
