About the NZASA

The New Zealand Area Schools Association has been formed to advance the cause of Area schools in particular and rural education in general.

The organisation promotes the continuous improvement and development of education for students of all ages as well as promoting the development of skills, and opportunities for learning and training for both Board of Trustees members and professionals: Principals and Teachers.

The association provides a forum for the exchange of ideas; support and advice for member schools and liaison with other educational bodies.

One of the aims of the organisation is to ensure that the collective views and opinions of Area School personnel are canvassed and heard nationally on matters of educational significance.

A NZ Area School handbook is available for downloading. This is a valuable document providing information about our schools. NZASA Handbook
