Horizon School is looking for a new principal, at a time of significant growth for the Snells Beach institution.
Kingsway Trust is advertising for “an experienced passionate leader with an active Christian faith and professional education expertise”.
“You will be relational and motivated to work collaboratively with all those in our community to continue the ongoing academic development of Horizon School.”
Principal Tina Utting-Johnson, who took the helm at the beginning of last year, notes that the integrated school “has been on a significant growth curve” over the past five years, progressively rolling out years 9-13 and growing from 80 students to around 240.
Tina, who has worked at Macleans College, Marlborough Girls and Catholic Cathedral College in Christchurch, says the board brought her in to strategically help develop new systems and growth across the school, but particularly help support the senior years of the College being rolled out and the appointment of a new leadership team.
“Horizon is a unique school,” she says. “Its pedagogy and Christian special character offers a very loving and supportive learning environment with a strong focus on individualised learning.
“Witnessing the care our teachers give each student has been a real highlight for me to experience.
Mahurangi is a very beautiful area, and I will certainly miss the amazing students and the opportunity to work with primary students for the first time in my career.”
Tina and her teacher husband Roushan moved to New Zealand from their native Wales seven years ago.
