The Ōtaki College Board of Trustees has been talking with the College Community over past months in order to develop the Draft 2022-26 Strategic Plan.
The BoT would now like parents, students, staff and wider community members to comment on the draft to find out if it reflects the vision and views we have for our College over the next five years. Please have your say by taking a few minutes to answer some or all of the 5 questions in our survey. Your answers will be anonymous and used only for the purpose of informing the strategic plan. The survey will remain open until 23 July.
