Description

In this episode of Making Work Better, Denise Quinlan speaks with Stephen Eames Tumuaki/Principal and Matt Boucher Tumuaki Tuarua/Deputy Principal from Rāroa Intermediate about reimagining wellbeing in education.

They share how Rāroa has embedded systemic support for student and teacher wellbeing, developed a clear pastoral care framework, and fostered a culture where no one is a single point of failure. From reducing burnout to boosting staff retention and building collective capacity, this episode is full of ideas that challenge how we define care, leadership, and what schools can be.
