NZSTA is the national organisation representing school boards of trustees
The New Zealand School Trustees Association was established in 1989 with the introduction of “Tomorrow’s Schools”, initially being formed from the remnants of the old School Committees’ Federation (SCF), the Secondary School Boards’ Association (SSBA), and the Education Boards’ Association (EBA). Member boards of trustees took control of NZSTA following the inaugural AGM in May 1990 when member boards adopted the first NZSTA constitution. Since 1990 member boards of trustees have “owned” and controlled NZSTA through a governing council/board elected by the membership.
