Kia ora Teresa,

We warmly welcome all those new to our First Time Principals Programme.

The programme is across two years and is a mixture of face-to-face gatherings and Zoom workshops. Principals are automatically added to our email database once their diocesan office advises us of their appointment.

The dates and times for this year’s programme are here. These dates and the recording of last year’s Zoom sessions can be found on a password protected section of our website, here. The password is npp.
