At Paparoa Street School, our commitment to providing a healthy and safe environment for ākonga, workers, and manuhiri is reinforced through safety and risk management systems on and off kura grounds.
The poari matua ensures, so far as is reasonably practicable, the health and safety of workers and that the kura does not put other people at risk (Health and Safety at Work Act, s. 36).

The poari matua consults and works with other PCBUs (such as the Ministry of Education, external contractors, and transport service providers) to manage our shared responsibility for health and safety, and coordinate kura activities in different settings.
