The Auditor-General has found two schools splashed out several thousand dollars on gifts and a leaving do for outgoing principals.
The 2021 nationwide schools audit found Waiuku College spent $1527 on a gift and $6909 on leaving ceremonies to farewell its former principal.
“The board also used funds that were originally raised for a kapa haka trip,” the report said.
“The farewell gift exceeded the school’s gift policy, and the amount spent for the leaving ceremonies was relatively high for a school.”
