Welcome to the Auckland Primary Principals’ Association – the APPA.

The APPA has been the collective voice for primary and intermediate school principals in the greater Auckland region for close to 120 years. This region spans from Pukekohe and Bombay in the south to Wellsford and Port Albert in the north. It also encompasses schools situated in the Islands of the Hauraki Gulf. 

The APPA is a strong professional organisation with a history of service, advocacy and representation of principals across the Tāmaki Makaurau rohe. As the largest principals’ association in New Zealand, our collective voice is influential at the local, regional and national levels. Strong working relationships with the Ministry of Education, Key Ministers and other peak body leaders ensure we regularly contribute to the future shape and direction of Primary and Intermediate education in Aotearoa, New Zealand.
