Principal appointment update
Dear Parents/Caregivers,
From The Board of Trustees:
On Monday evening the Board of Trustees reviewed and reflected on the recruitment process to date and worked out what was needed to be done next.
The decision was made to extend the current leadership arrangements out for the whole 2016 school year.
We will take a break in recruiting and look to re-advertise in early September with the plan to have a new principal signed up by the end of October 2016 to start term 1 2017.
Thanks for your support and understanding in this – the BOT recognises the importance of this task and that it is for our community’s lifelong learners.
Don Chittock
Board Chair

Children from Ōpāwa School are very pleased with their results in the Oderings School Garden Competition which was held recently at the Woolston Club. They were given a Silver Award at the Award Ceremony and then won the People’s Choice Award at the end of the event. Their design was representative of the Ōpāwaho / Heathcote River, which flows through their school community. Through a lens of ‘Reduce, Reuse, Recycle’, they created their designs by using items that today, unfortunately, pollute the Ōpāwaho. Their aim was to encourage others to take more care of this important environment.
On Friday 100 of our Year 2 & 3 children walked along the river to see their design – it was a great experience!
