The Whakarewarewa School board is composed of five elected members. Board members serve for a term of three years and may be re-elected. The board is responsible for the governance and management of the school, and employs all the school staff. In addition, the  board sets the schools strategic direction and ensures that the school delivers on our vision, " where our uniqueness is valued and we are inspired to reach our aspirations".

The Board holds public meetings twice a term, to establish policies, approve purchases and budgets, receive reports from the Principal, administrators, approve administrative appointments, and conduct other business.
