Opihi College is seeking an exceptional instructional leader to join our senior leadership team as deputy principal – teaching practice, innovation and school improvement.
This is an exciting opportunity to join a Years 7–13 school committed to ensuring every young person experiences success through high-quality teaching, strong relationships, and a culture of continuous improvement. As we continue to implement the refreshed New Zealand Curriculum, strengthen literacy and numeracy, build evidence-informed teaching practice, and develop our teaching and learning playbook, we are looking for a leader who can inspire others and translate strategy into outstanding classroom practice.
The successful applicant will:
- Lead instructional improvement across the school.
- Coach and develop teachers and future leaders.
- Lead professional learning aligned with strategic priorities.
- Use evidence, inquiry and evaluation to improve learner outcomes.
- Foster a culture of innovation, collaboration and continuous improvement.

If you are a relational leader who believes every learner can succeed and every teacher can continue to grow, we would love to hear from you.
Together we grow a kind, respectful and ambitious learning community where every young person feels they belong and thrive.
