Help Line
The NZPF executive provides a Helpline service to all members. When you contact the Helpline, we will arrange for an experienced colleague to contact you so you can discuss any matter causing you difficulty with someone who understands your perspective and who will be able to help you decide how best to proceed.
Grants & Awards
The following awards and grants are made annually through and by the New Zealand Principals’ Federation.
Legal Advice
Principals who pay for their own Legal Advice Support Scheme and then move school, will still own the contract and the contract moves with them. If the owner of the contract is the board, then the cover will be for the principal in that school at that time.
Our Publication ‘Principal Matters’ is released fortnightly on Wednesdays.
