Tim Waite
Principal
 
Tena Koutou ko Tim toku ingoa!
I have been Principal at Elsthorpe School since the beginning of Term 3, 2022. I live in Waipawa with my wife and four children. The staff at Elsthorpe School are committed to providing the best learning environment for the students. I love being at Elsthorpe School because of the togetherness and respect I see exhibited by our students each and every day.
