Palmerston North, New Zealand Cornerstone Christian School Full time

Food Technician

Cornerstone Christian school is a Year 1-13 co-educational Integrated Area school

with a Christian special character. In September 2013, the Minister of Education

granted the school approval to move to Y1-9 in 2014 and to successively roll out the

secondary year levels, one each year to Y13 in 2018. In 2017 we will have our first

Year 12 class.

The school is in a rapid growth phase in terms of roll, staffing and buildings as the

primary area continues to grow and the secondary year levels are rolled out.

We have a Christian special character and hence all of our staff are expected to be

Christian, attend a local church and participate fully in the devotional nature of the

school.
