Welcome to the Staff and Board page of Western Heights Primary School, where we are proud to introduce the incredible team that drives our success. At Te Kura o Whakaahu, we are committed to providing the highest quality education in an environment built on values such as excellence, leadership, and a deep sense of community.

Our dedicated staff, led by Principal Brent Griffin, work tirelessly to ensure every tamariki receives a well-rounded education—academic, social, and emotional. Together, we foster a culture of care, respect, and a commitment to raising student achievement. As the only ‘Leader in Me’ accredited school in New Zealand, our team embodies the principles of Stephen Covey’s 8 Habits, supporting our students in becoming confident, responsible leaders and effective members of society.

Behind every achievement, there is a team effort. Our staff and board members work in harmony, guided by our core values of Rangatiratanga, Kotahitanga, Manaakitanga, and Whanaungatanga, ensuring that each child has the opportunity to thrive. Together, we shape the future, one student at a time. We invite you to learn more about the passionate individuals who make up this remarkable team.
