Schools and Kura Membership
As a school leader, you want your teachers to feel confident, supported, and inspired, and your students to excel. By becoming a PENZ School or Kura Member, your staff join a national network dedicated to building the PE community, strengthening programmes, and ensuring every ākonga (student) benefits from quality physical education.
For primary school principals, membership connects your school to experts and resources that make delivering PE easier, more engaging, and more impactful for kaiako (teachers) and students alike. You’re not just investing in PE, you’re investing in wellbeing, learning, and success across the entire school.
For Heads of Department in secondary schools, membership gives you and your team the tools to deliver a world-class PE programme through having access to up-to-date resources, specialist curriculum advice, professional learning, and a network of peers who understand the challenges and opportunities that you face.
