Pastoral Care Team

Each Waka Huia at New Plymouth Girls’ High School has a Waka Kaitiaki (Head of Waka) and a Waka Amo (Waka Dean).

They are key people at the school that are in place to assist you as you become familiar with your new environment. They are special teachers who, in addition to teaching, oversee the daily care and management of a Waka Huia.
