Meet our board of trustees
Stephen Eames
Tumuaki/Principal
Stephen Eames
I am a highly motivated, student-focused educational leader possessing a strong commitment to the development of students and staff. I am continually exploring modern learning practices and looking for ways to increase engagement and raise achievement by implementing 21st-century ideas through a pedagogy-first approach.
I love spending time with my family, mountain biking, and enjoying the outdoors.

I believe that a good Board of Trustees has a clear view of the school’s purpose and values ensure that there is effective accountability management and governance culture and has the ability to act as required to ensure the continued good operation of the school.
Rāroa is a great school that engages with our young people and challenges them to aspire to achieve and I look forward to continuing to work with the school and its community.

I am new to the board, and in the short time I have been involved I have been hugely impressed by the learning environment the school provides, and the energy and enthusiasm of the staff.
It is a privilege to use my professional experience in governance, strategy, stakeholder engagement, and risk management to support the continued development of the school, helping it to realise its vision – aspire to achieve.
Elizabeth Satherley
Parent Trustee

My reason for putting myself forward as a parent representative of the board of trustees is that I believe that Rāroa Intermediate is an inclusive school that embraces diversity and genuinely cares for the health and well-being of children and that this school strives to give everyone who attends a diverse range of opportunities that allow them to thrive in their educational journeys. I have a great deal of respect and admiration for the senior leadership, and teaching team of Rāroa Intermediate.
As a mum of a neuro-diverse child, I can also understand the struggles families can find themselves on during the educational journey with kids that experience behavioural and learning difficulties and for that reason, I also wanted to bring my unique insight from my life experience to offer an additional perspective on these kind of things.
I am really grateful to have the opportunity to be a board member and I hope that I can make a meaningful contribution to this amazing school community.
