FROM THE BOARD CHAIR:
We’re really excited to let you know that we have had a great number off quality applications for our schools principal position returned to us so far, applications close on Friday the 5th with shortlisting going ahead on Saturday 6th. The Board will likely interview our shortlisted applicants on the weekend of 13th with a decision made soon after.

Community Engagement Meeting:

Proposed Amendment to the Ngaere School Enrolment Scheme

Te Tāhuhu o te Mātauranga| The Ministry of Education is working in collaboration with our school board to amend the enrolment scheme for our school.
The amendment is required to:
     • ensure the home zone includes all the addresses for which Ngaere School is the closest school of its type.
    • update references to legislation
    • remove ambiguities
A proposed amendment has been drafted and is available to be viewed at the school office.
As part of this process, the Board, along with the Ministry of Education would like to consult with the school community and with people living in the area for which the school is a reasonably convenient school. We are therefore holding a community engagement meeting at 3:30 pm on Thursday 1 August 2024, to be held here at school.
To help us with planning, could you please advise the school office on 06 7648643 if you are attending.
If you are unable to personally attend either meeting, or would prefer to respond via e-mail, please feel free to comment or ask questions by e-mailing John Dale, Senior Adviser Network via:  John.Dale@education.govt.nz .
