School Structure

Learn about our governing boards and how they work together to provide for our school.

As an integrated school, the school property and buildings are owned and maintained by the proprietors, the Maranatha Foundation Board. The Foundation Board is responsible for the special character of our school. 

Like other schools throughout New Zealand, Maranatha is managed by a Board of Trustees, consisting of parent elected members, as well as members appointed by the Foundation Board. The Board of Trustees are responsible for governing the school and its strategic direction. 

The school also has an active Parent Teacher Association, which is involved in organising fundraising activities and school social events.

The school operates on a combination of Ministry of Education funding, attendance dues and voluntary donations, providing affordable, quality Christian education.
