The Dilworth Trust Board plays a vital role in ensuring the school meets the needs of its student and whānau communities.
Working with the Headmaster, they shape the school’s direction and strategy, and with the CEO of the Trust Office, steer the Dilworth Trust. Today, the Dilworth Trust is one of New Zealand’s largest charities and utilises its endowment to fund Dilworth School.
The Board’s main objective is to support the education of the students currently at Dilworth, with a desire to strengthen the endowment over time to enable the school to grow its roll and give more students the opportunity of a Dilworth scholarship. Our Board members require a unique set of skills. Between them they have deep expertise and experience in educational leadership, commercial property investment and investment management. They bring broad skills in executive leadership and strategy, governance, financial oversight, legal matters, communication, risk and compliance, health & safety and wellbeing, and people and culture.
Representation from the Dilworth Old Boy community on the Board offers further, unique insights into the operation of the school. The Board also has the role of granting and withdrawing scholarships, with significant input from the Headmaster and academic staff.
