As we start the last term of 2012, the Board is beginning to plan for next year. This involves reviewing student achievement data, programmes offered in the school, property and finances etc. This information provides focus for planning forward and also takes into account the recommendations from ERO. As part of this process, we will be asking for your feedback and all of this is gathered to form a written plan which is submitted to the Ministry at the beginning of each year. We also wanted to give you an update to our community notice sent on the 25th of September regarding the ERO report recommendations. The Board met with Ministry of Education representatives during the school holidays to discuss how the Ministry can assist implementing the recommendations from the report. The Ministry is now in the process of determining what form this assistance will be and will be in touch in due course. This process can take a few weeks and we have no definite date as to when we will know what it is. If you want to contact me to discuss anything, please feel free to contact me or any board member. Chris Cole Board chair sccole@xtra.co.nz or see Judi in the office for further contact information.
