Friends of Campbells Bay School (FOCBS) Coordinator Position Available (Paid) A paid (fixed term) position has been created for 2016 to help ensure FOCBS is a focus for parent/caregivers of the school’s community so parent/caregivers participation is increased as they become involved in assisting with the organisation of FOCBS events throughout the year.

In essence, the FOCBS Coordinator will be responsible for leading this organisation while providing numerous opportunities for members of our school community to become involved with FOCBS. It is anticipated the coordinator will work, an average of eight to ten hours per week (term time only), reporting to the principal.

Should you wish to find out more about this position please email Karen McNair: karenm@campbellsbay.school.nz
