Our Purpose
Sustaining spirit in education
SEANZ is governed by a voluntary body and we are grateful to our early childhood centres and schools who support staff to attend board meetings alongside elected board members who volunteer their time.
SEANZ and the working groups of the Fellowship and Waekura are funded by levies from member schools and early childhood centres, and carry out the task of delivering the strategic and annual plans.
