BOARD OF TRUSTEES UPDATES
NAG 1 - Curriculum was reviewed at our most recent BOT meeting. This has been updated and can be viewed on our school website.
Opting in to the Ministry of Educations Donation Scheme
At our November meeting the Board of Trustees voted and passed to opt into this scheme for the 2020 school year. This means that in 2020 parents will no longer be charged for items related to our school curriculum delivery, as this will be funded by the Ministry of Education. This will include the School Activity Fee and the Year 7 & 8 Technology fee. Parents will still be charged for "goods and services" such as school stationery, school lunches, entering sports teams etc.
This is exciting news for our school families which will see you all paying less for your children's participation in their schooling.
