As New Zealand’s premier school of performing arts, our legacy has always been to train the best performers, designers, and craftspeople from here and from around the world.

Taught by renown experts and educators with broad industry and community connections, our prestigious qualifications are a mark of quality that opens doors to a successful career. And that’s why our talented alumni are sought after, in front of and behind the scenes, by the world’s leading productions.

Toi Whakaari is seeking new Trustees with specialist skills from across the motu to take over the rākau from existing members who are nearing the end of their term. 

You’ll play a critical role in guiding the execution of the newly created strategy which underpins a unique Aotearoa New Zealand learning approach, built on the mātauranga and tikanga of our whakapapa.

Ideally, you’ll offer expertise in one of the following areas:

• Tikanga Māori
• Marketing and Communications
• Human Resources
• Leveraging organisational capability for growth
• Securing fundraising/donor relationships
• Tertiary Education
• Property and facilities management

These voluntary positions provide an excellent opportunity to develop your governance experience in our nation’s premier school of performing arts. Toi Whakaari has an ambitious change agenda anchored in our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi and the decolonisation of the kura. This is a unique opportunity for you to influence the future of Aotearoa story-makers.
