About us…

We wanted to do things differently and ‘baldy’ go where no one has gone before. By continuing to work as school principals within the sector, it allows us the opportunity to invest your funds in you! We love to work with talented educators across the motu, and have a philosophy about using people in the room, to Elevate the room!

John Channer

I have been a school principal based in the Wellington area for 18 years and have thoroughly enjoyed the roller-coaster experience this has provided. I am passionate about education, seeking ways to make principalship a desirable career. I am an active member of both the Upper Hutt Principal Association, and the Wellington Principal Association Executive. Out of school I enjoy tinkering in my garage and run a custom leather-goods business.

I have been a school principal based in Wellington for 10 years and a school leader for the last 20 years. I love the diversity and richness of the role with no two days being the same. I am enthusiastic, relish working with others and have a true passion for making school fun. I am an active person, enjoying the beauty that our natural environment has to offer. On my days off I can be found wandering the hills of the Tararuas or Orongorongos.
