Matamata Christian School has grown significantly over the past few years, resulting in a full enrolment and a waiting list of eager students. Owned by Peria Christian Education Incorporated, our school is known for its strong Christian values and community focus. To meet growing demand, plans are underway to extend our roll cap to 175 and offer education up to Year 10.
We invite members of Peria Christian Education Inc to consider becoming a part of this exciting growth. The Proprietor Board is holding its annual election, with four seats available. Two outgoing trustees, who can be re-elected, plus two vacant seats, create opportunities for new members to join us in guiding our school’s path.
If you share our commitment to providing Christ-centred education in Matamata, we encourage you to stand for election. Together, we can support our students’ journeys to becoming motivated disciples of Jesus Christ. Learn more about our election process and how you can contribute to the future of Matamata Christian School.
The Peria Christian Education Inc annual Proprietor Board election is under way.
Being a Proprietor Board Trustee is an important role that needs people with a range of skills and experiences, to oversee the provision and major maintenance of the school property, and to monitor the delivery of the school’s Special Christian Character. This is an exciting role, and you are asked to consider who, including yourself, should become part of this team, which is at the heart of the school.
Nominations are being called to fill four vacancies on the Board. and close at 3.00pm on Tuesday 29th April 2025 Nominations must be submitted on the online form available here on the Matamata Christian School website. Only members of PCE may nominate, be nominated or vote. The PCE roll has closed and a list of current members is available in the school office. The supplementary roll will close at 3.00pm, Tuesday 29th April 2025.
Should a vote be required, it will take place at the Peria Christian Education Inc AGM to be held at Matamata Christian School on Tuesday 20th May 2025 following dinner.
