The Owairaka Journey Owairaka principal, Diana Tregoweth, will share strategies to improve community relationships Diana Tregoweth has been principal at Owairaka District School, a decile 2 school in Mt Albert, for the past ten years. She has been involved in the Auckland Social Studies Association for the past eighteen years. Owairaka is a multicultural school and Diana’s passion for travel and learning about other cultures has stood her in good stead for her role as principal. During her time at Owairaka the whole staff have had the opportunity to do two overseas visits, firstly to Samoa and later to India. Following the visits some very rich teaching about these cultures occurred.
