Springboard Trust

Springboard Trust is an impact organisation working within the education sector. We transform schools together by developing individuals' and teams' strategic leadership, bringing together leaders from the education, private, public and philanthropic sectors to facilitate insightful learning and embed impactful change.

The reason we do this is simple: we believe that effective strategic leadership transforms schools, which ultimately improves student outcomes.

New Zealand teachers and principals typically struggle to gain access to professional learning and development or unique insights from outside their own sector. Springboard Trust aims to break down these barriers and facilitate a unique platform that encourages cross-sector thinking, learning and collaboration.

The cross-sector model gives school leaders access to tailored expertise, trusted coaching relationships and a network of support that is essential to strong leadership in education.

This comes from our expansive network of skills volunteers, a combination of expert individuals and senior leaders in our strategic, major and supporting partner organisations.

We have supported more than 750 principals and schools across Aotearoa New Zealand. We have delivered more than 1,500 projects and impacted more than 240,000 students.

We measure the impact of our work and the difference we make for leaders, their schools and communities. Our vision is 'Strong Strategic Leaders | Thriving tamariki mokupuna'.
