NEW: Principal’s Forum – Breakfast Programme

This is the first run of our new Principal’s Forum feature, where Mr Bainbridge will pose a question for parents and caregivers to comment on.

Today’s question is: The provision of the breakfast programme on Tuesday mornings – should we do it, should we extend it, any other feedback?

Nutrician is essential for growth and development and also plays a critical role in behaviour. This is a fact not opinion. Until we can guarantee that every child is getting breakfast at home , we should use the school as back up. Otherwise the rest of the valuable eduational resourse is money and time wasted.
Well done Matipo – excellent effort where it counts most. Very clever Mr Bainbridge!!

The rational for the introduction of National Standards was the then National Party’s education policy to raise standards and introduce plain language reporting to parents (the latter stolen from Australian Prime Minister Rudd).

I was able to attend this conference thanks to a professional development grant from the Matipo Primary Board of Trustees and from Project Koru. These grants were used to pay for travel, accommodation and registration. All other costs were borne by myself. My sincere thanks for both these grants but particularly to the Board for

What’s Worth Learning?

This is an incredibly powerful and important question as more and more people ponder education in the 21st century and try and imagine what it will look like. The only thing we know with certainty about the future is that change is inevitable. We know that children entering our schools now as Year Ones, will
