Ngā mihi nui ki a koutouGreetings to you all,

Board of Trustees:

 As you are aware a number of our current Board of Trustees are stepping down this year and I would like to acknowledge the workof the whole board over the years. The commitment, dedication and vision of the Board has always had our learners at the centreof their decision making and this has benefited many students over the years. On behalf of the Morrinsville Intermediate Schoolcommunity I wish to thank the whole Board for their contribution to our school during their time on the Board.

Gary Tomsett has been Chairman for the last 6 years at Morrinsville Intermediate School, and prior to this he had been involved inBoards at two other primary schools. Gary has worked tirelessly, and often behind the scenes, for the school. His leadership,expertise and support of the our leadership team, staff and the Board has been invaluable over the years.

Gwen has been on our BOT for 9 years; and like Gary she has been involved with Boards at other school’s prior to joining the Inter-mediate board. Gwen has been particularly involved in the financial management of the school, and has always been committed tothe welfare of our students, and staff, to ensure that we were are providing support for the holistic person. Gwen’s dedication to our school is greatly admired and respected by myself and others, especially as her last child is in his final year at high school.

Dave Matthews and Cameron Marshall have also been on the Board for the last six years. Dave as Deputy Chairman supportingGary; and often asking the “hard” questions needed for the school to move forward. Cameron has been involved in the financialmanagement of the school and over recent years the work of the Board and Colin McDonald has seen an improved financialposition.

Terry Casey has been the Staff Representative over the last 18 months; and he is stepping down from his position. Terry hasprovided energy and is the voice of staff in the decision making process.

Teri Whaiapu is currently on the Board as the Iwi representative; this seat is an appointed one, not an elected one and Teri will becontinuing on in this role.

Peter Li Calsi and Matthew Judge have put their names forward in the current election.

Personnel:

It is with sadness that I have received the resignations of Aloma Williams and Jo Griffin this week. Aloma has been successful insecuring a leadership role in Invercargill. Jo is leaving to due to a change in circumstances.

Playground Upgrade:

Thank you to the MI-Mate’s team for assisting with replacing parts of the equipment on the Adventure Playground. It is fantastic tohave all the equipment repaired and refreshed.

Principal’s Chat:  A reminder that there is an open invitation for parents and whanau to come have a coffee and chat tomorrow (Friday 24th Mayat 11.00am. This is completely informal and gives us an opportunity to talk about aspects of learning and general school life atMorrinsville Intermediate.

Nāku noa,Vicky Marshall(Acting Principal)
