Teacher Registration

Current registration is essential for all teachers if they are teaching at any school in New Zealand.  It is the responsibility of teaching staff to ensure they are registered.  Teachers cannot teach without current registration and both teachers and schools can be fined.  The appropriate forms for this and other registration matters, can be downloaded from the Teaching Council website: www.teachingcouncil.nz 

Carla Smith (Associate Principal) is your first point of contact if you require any assistance.

Three months before your registration is due to expire Carla will send you an email with instructions as to how to complete the renewal process.

Teachers are required to pay for their own registration costs as these are not covered by the current Secondary Teachers’ Collective Agreement (STCA) 2019-2022.
