If you are moving out of your city/town to another school you may be eligible for a relocation grant. To access this contact your local Ministry office for further information.
As a new principal and SPANZ member we invite you to contact us any time with any queries you may have.
Secondly we have a new/refresher principal session on the first day of our Annual Conference (the Sunday), this is designed to give you a brief overview of what you can expect as a principal as well as where to go for further information.
The Conference is also a great opportunity for you to meet fellow principals and learn from their experiences.
You are welcome to contact the office for a membership form or alternatively fill in the form online under Membership and submit to the office, from here we will forward through an invoice and welcome you to the Association.
Each membership is separate and must be applied for by each individual.
When a principal leaves he/she takes their membership with them - this includes the school legal portion.
However in the situations where your predecessor has retired or is resigning from the profession you are welcome to apply, at their agreement, for a membership transfer.
