James Robertson Parker was sentenced to preventive detention in 2013 for the offences, committed while he was deputy principal of Pamapuria School, near Kaitaia.
He made a fourth appearance before the Parole Board yesterday - and detailed how he continues to work to improve himself behind bars.
Parker says he dreams to move to the South Island and get a job based outdoors.
The Board says Parker has some work to do to before a possible release - and will see him again in November.
