Board of Trustees Notice
20th March 2012
At last night’s BOT meeting, a letter of concern was received about the number of dogs being brought to school, and the potential danger this may pose.
As a result, the Board has resolved to ban dogs from the school and ask people not to walk dogs to and from classrooms.

Warm greetings to you all. The Board of Trustees is now into the second year of our term. The Board consists of:
Walter Payne – Chair
Amanda Magnus – Deputy Chair
Kate Eldridge – Parent Representative
Faga Siaki – Parent Representative
Vanna Blucher – Parent Representative
Jill Jessop – Staff Representative
Wayne Bainbridge – Principal
The school continues to operate on a sound financial basis and this year’s financial audit has been done and from the oral feedback, there are no issues.
Several maintenance and building projects will be undertaken this year.
- Rooms 15 & 16 were painted
- The green courts are being resurfaced with a new product over the April holidays
- The upper driveway was resealed.
- A whole school electrical upgrade will start soon.
- An extra classroom went to tender this week.
National Standards reporting went ‘live’ last year and for the third year in a row, 92% of children right across the school, are reading at or above the National Standard. We are not as strong in writing, however and this year the Board is committing $10,000 in professional development for the staff in writing.
Later in the year the school will have the scheduled visit from the Education Review Office (ERO), who will review all aspects of school governance, management and especially, achievement of pupils. Both the Board and Principal look forward to an external appraisal of our school and will welcome the feedback.
Best wishes for a very successful year.
