OUR SIX PRINCIPLES
The NZPF ‘Six Principles’ were originally established in 2023.
These help guide the decision making of the NZPF Executive.
These ‘Six Principles’ were reviewed in 2025 to reflect the evolving needs of the profession, the aspirations of our communities, and the challenges we face collectively as educational leaders.
Our revised principles set a clear direction for NZPF’s advocacy and leadership moving forward – focused on equity, integrity, and the wellbeing of our tamariki and rangatahi. The principles give NZPF clear direction on how to advance our advocacy work, ensuring we represent your voice with confidence.
A full synopsis of the updates to these principles, made at the 2025 NZPF Moot, can be viewed here.

NGĀ POU E WHĀ
Ngā Tumuaki o Aotearoa – New Zealand Principals’ Federation- has chosen Ngā Pou e Whā, the ‘Four Pou’ Principle, as the basis upon which all strategic actions are aligned and measured. The four pou provide structure for the work of the Federation and offer a Te Ao Māori framework to guide us in all our advocacy work.
You can contact any or the Ngā Pou e Whā rōpū on our Executive Page.
