President’s invitationA DETERMINATION TO DRIVE HIGH EDUCATIONAL OUTCOMES

If you cannot understand that there is something in man which responds to the challenge of this mountain

and goes out to meet it, that the struggle is the struggle of life itself upward and forever upward, then

you won’t see why we go. ~Sir Edmund Hillary

Determination – being staunch – is part of the New Zealand character. It’s part of our warrior heritage and part of our settler heritage. Cultural icons like Te Whiti o Rongomai and Tohu Kakahi, Nurse Maude and Ed Hillary, and sports icons like Richie McCaw and Sophie Pascoe are part of the fabric of our daily lives. Their determination and commitment are characteristics we admire. We see the best of ourselves in them.

This determination to succeed at what is important is something we need to channel into our role as school boards of trustees. As Te Whiti and Tohu show us, our determination does not need to mean we become aggressive or seek conflict. Nor do we need to be born into families with money and influence, or have to have a great sense of our own importance. All we need is the courage to do what we believe needs to be done, and the determination to see it through.

But determination without a shared purpose is just a breeding ground for conflict. We need foresight, and vision – a sense of purpose, an understanding of why the things we are working for matter, and how our efforts will allow us to conquer our mountain.

As boards of trustees, part of our role is to harness that determination and the energy that fuels it in a way that pushes through the obstacles and challenges that our students and our communities face, to lift our children and our teens ‘upward and forever upward’. Like Sir Ed, it’s not just about talking and thinking. We need to plan, to collect the right gear and the right people around us, and go out to meet the challenge, one step at a time, until we have conquered it.

Most importantly, we need to bring our people with us: our students, their families/whanāu, their teachers, and their wider community. Their successful lives are the outcome we seek. Educational outcomes are the tools we provide them for their journeys. They need to be good ones.

Invitation to attend the AGMSATURDAY 15 JULY 2017, 11.30AM, REGENT THEATRE, THE OCTAGON, DUNEDIN

All NZSTA member boards are warmly invited to attend the NZSTA Annual General Meeting.

Our AGM is an important part of the annual NZSTA conference. The NZSTA Annual General meeting (AGM) is your board’s best opportunity to discuss important issues direct with the NZSTA President and Board, and other NZSTA member boards. NZSTA is your organisation. It is important that you take this opportunity to be heard. All boards that are paid-up members of NZSTA (membership subs must be paid by 31 March 2017) are entitled to participate in and vote at the AGM. The AGM is run in accordance with the rules set out in the NZSTA constitution. The AGM agenda is set in advance by the NZSTA Board. AGM agenda items may be notified by member boards as notices of motion (remits). Remit templates and other information will be sent to all boards asking for notices of motion to be returned to NZSTA National Office by Monday 10 April.

Each NZSTA member board appoints one trustee to speak and vote on their behalf at AGM (the AGM Delegate) but every board member is encouraged to attend in support of their delegate and to listen to the discussions first-hand. You do not need to speak at AGM in order to be an AGM Delegate, but you must be an AGM Delegate in order to speak.

If your board is not able to attend conference, you should register a proxy vote through a delegate from another member board in your region. An Appointment of Delegate

form will be sent to your board in April, along with details of the remits that will be discussed. A quorum of 10% of all NZSTA member boards is required for the AGM to proceed. The quorum is the minimum number of member boards that need to be present at the AGM to make valid decisions for NZSTA, so it is important that your board exercises its right to vote, either by its presence at the AGM or through a delegate.

The AGM provides the opportunity for your board to hold NZSTA officeholders to account for the running of the association during the previous 12 months. Each year at the AGM members of NZSTA:• receive and consider the NZSTA’s Board’s annual

report to members• receive and consider the NZSTA’s Board’s annual

financial statements• appoint the auditor for the coming year• set the annual NZSTA membership fee• consider other business of which due notice has been

given• consider any other business that the majority of voting

member boards represented at the AGM choose to accept

To exercise your board’s right to vote at the AGM, you must ensure your board completes and returns an Appointment of Delegate form. Appointment of Delegate forms must be returned to NZSTA National Office by seven days prior to the AGM (Saturday 8 July).

His Honour Judge Andrew Becroft was appointed the Children’s Commissioner for New Zealand for a two-year period from June 2016. Prior to that he was the Principal Youth Court Judge of New Zealand from 2001 to 2016, and a District Court Judge from 1996 to 2001.

Born in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, Judge Becroft attended Rongotai College in Wellington and graduated from The University of Auckland in 1981 with a BA/LLB (Honours) degree. He practised in Auckland with the firm Fortune Manning & Partners until 1986, then assisted with the establishment of the Mangere Community Law Centre and worked there until 1993. He then worked as a criminal barrister in South Auckland until his appointment to the District Court bench, sitting in Whanganui, from 1996.

Judge Becroft is a former council member of the Auckland District Law Society and the New Zealand Law Society. He is a current editor of LexisNexis ôTransport Lawö, is the Patron of the New Zealand Speak Easy Association Inc., which assists those with various forms of speech impediment, and is the Chairperson of the Board of the Tertiary Students Christian Fellowship (NZ) Inc.

In 2009, Judge Becroft received an award from the Public Relations Institute of New Zealand as Communicator of the Year. In 2010 Judge Becroft was the recipient of a Distinguished Alumni Award from the University of Auckland.

He is married with three children, aged 21, 19 and 16. Judge Becroft is a keen

sports watcher, but he confesses, only an average (but enthusiastic) participant.

As Principal Youth Court Judge he was strongly committed to a specialist approach to dealing with youth and child offenders, and brings to the Commissioner's role a particular focus on teenagers and adolescent development generally. Judge Becroft is privileged and challenged to be the advocate for New Zealand’s 1.12 million under 18-year-olds.

Judge Boshier began his term as Chief Ombudsman on 10 December 2015.

Prior to this, Judge Boshier was a Law Commissioner with the New Zealand Law Commission and was also a Family Court Judge.

He was born and educated in Gisborne and attended Victoria University of Wellington, obtaining a Bachelor of Laws with Honours Degree in 1975. After a period of practice in Wellington he was appointed as a District Court Judge with a specialist Family Court warrant in 1988.

Judge Boshier has a long association with Pacific judicial issues and was seconded to undertake judicial training there, based in Suva in 2002 and 2003. Judge Boshier has travelled regularly to Pacific Island countries to undertake workshops on the subject of family violence and youth justice. He holds the Samoan Matai title of Misa which was bestowed in 2000.

In 2004 Judge Boshier was appointed as the Principal Family Court Judge

of New Zealand and held that position until December 2012. During that time, Judge Boshier served on the Government’s Family Violence Taskforce.

In 2009 Judge Boshier was made a distinguished alumnus of the Victoria University of Wellington for his contribution to the law.

Judge Boshier is Patron of the Dwell Community Housing Trust in Wellington and the White Ribbon Domestic Violence Trust.

David Rutherford was appointed Chief Human Rights Commissioner in September 2011. Prior to his appointment, he was the Managing Director of Special Olympics Asia Pacific and based in Singapore.

He has held senior executive roles in building materials and agribusiness businesses operating in New Zealand and Australia, has been Chief Executive of the New Zealand Rugby Union and has worked as a corporate, securities and commercial lawyer in New Zealand and Canada.

Mr Rutherford has a strong history of involvement in sports and has lectured in sports law at Victoria University. He has been a volunteer board member in rugby union, netball, Paralympics New Zealand, Special Olympics New Zealand, Special Olympics International and for the Attitude Trust.

He brings a passion for the development and inclusion of people with disability in sports.

Master of Ceremonies

MC PIO TEREI MNZM

Master of CeremoniesIt’s always a pleasure to have Pio as our Master of Ceremonies. He will entertain us and keep us on track as the conference progresses. Pio’s numerous appearances in the past decade as a comedian, actor, radio and television host, musician and performer have established him as one of New Zealand’s most popular and personable entertainers.

Pio came to notice in 1995 when he headlined his own TV3 show, ‘Pete and Pio’, with fellow comedian Peter Rowley. He led his own show simply called ôPioö and hosted ‘Christmas in the Park’.

In the 2012 New Year Honours List Pio was awarded an MNZM for his services to entertainment. Pio has much planned and prepared for our conference attendees.

newGOVERNANCE & EMPLOYMENT MASTERCLASSESAt our 2017 conference we will be offering masterclasses for the first time. These will be for very experienced trustees in both governance and employment areas. Numbers will be limited, first registered. They will be ‘double-sessions’ with a particular emphasis on an area of topical governance and separately in employment.

These masterclass sessions will be a mixture of focussed learning, updates, and plenty of time for interaction across the room and with the specialist material expert presenters.

See page 14 for information on the Masterclasses.

MasterclassesSPACES ARE LIMITED AND REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED ON A FIRST IN FIRST SERVED BASIS.

MASTERCLASS ONE: GOVERNANCE Concerns and complaintsCLEAVE HAY, NZSTA Approved Provider

Boards of trustees should ensure that all concerns and complaints are attended to promptly, respectfully and professionally, and seek to bring effective resolution for all parties concerned. This masterclass double session will cover a board’s management of concerns and complaints in three parts: the preventive model (policy, procedures, board processes and a culturally aware and responsive environment); handling complaints through to resolution (process, investigation, natural justice, requests for information, the Official Information Act and the Privacy Act, and media interest); and actual experience and scenarios (please come prepared to interact and share).

MASTERCLASS TWO: EMPLOYMENT Pitfalls and how to avoid costly errorsROB GOLD, NZSTA Principal Adviser Employment

Managing staff means that you have a number of responsibilities, the most important being that you are fair in what you do. As a board member you will effectively be managing an employee remotely, while your principal acts as the CEO of the school. It is important to understand the employment environment, set boundaries and have conversations to avoid employment issues that have the potential to cost you significant time and money. This seminar will explore a number of common issues that cause breakdowns in employment relationships, equip you with the tools to recognise the risks, and give you the ability to manage issues fairly. It will touch on the relevant law but take a pragmatic and common-sense approach to what is often a time of considerable conflict.

Destination and venuesWWW.DUNEDINNZ.COM

An endearing city of classical architecture and Scottish charm, Dunedin prides itself on being New Zealand’s centre for learning, heritage, art and culture. It is also the commercial hub of the Otago region and the gateway to the diverse wildlife of the Otago Peninsula. Amongst Dunedin’s attractions are the fine examples of unspoiled Edwardian and Victorian architecture, the close proximity to the Otago Peninsula’s rare wildlife and stunning coastal beauty. The vibrant city centre is compact, with restaurants, cafés, hotels and accommodation within easy walking distance.

CONFERENCE VENUESIndulging in what Dunedin City has to offer, the 28th NZSTA conference 2017 will be held at the Regent Theatre, with additional seminars and the exhibition being housed at the Dunedin Centre and Dunedin Art Gallery, all within a two- minute walk of each other.

DINNER VENUEThe conference dinner will be held at the Edgar Centre, a 5-10 minute coach transfer. NZSTA has arranged return coaches departing from the Octagon and selected hotels.

CLIMATEDunedin enjoys four distinct seasons, each with its own stunning backdrop, with warm summer days and crisp but clear winter days.

In July, the temperatures in Dunedin range from 4oC–13oC.

HOW TO GET THEREFLIGHTSDaily flights are available between Dunedin and the three major centres; Auckland, Wellington and Christchurch. Connecting flights are also available to and from the regions. Additional information regarding flights can be found on the conference website.
