Your kura, like any organisation, makes financial decisions. Identify a significant financial decision that your kura could make that addresses a need, issue, or opportunity in the kura. The financial decision should benefit ākonga, and could be a real or a hypothetical decision. You will need to consider the pūtake of the kura, as well as the needs of the kura and its stakeholders.

  1. Outline a need, issue, or opportunity your kura has.
  2. Discuss the pūtake of the kura in relation to the decision. For example, what values does the kura need to consider when making the financial decision?
  3. Identify stakeholders of the kura who might be affected by the decision.
  4. Describe a range of options your kura could explore to address the issue, need, or opportunity.
  5. Explain the pros and cons of each of the options, including some possible consequences for the kura and its stakeholders. This should include financing options for the purchase (if relevant) and must incorporate financial data from a financial tool.
  6. Explain different stakeholders’ perspectives in relation to the options being considered by the kura. This might include their values and motivations.
  7. Explain the option the kura should choose (as opposed to the alternative options). Include financial data and other information from a financial tool.
  8. Analyse how the financial decision addresses stakeholder perspectives by discussing to what extent the views of stakeholders, such as the Board of Trustees and sports or arts groups, have been considered.
  9. Analyse how the kura could respond to the possible consequences of their decision (eg, how will any negative consequences be dealt with).
