Board of Trustees Meeting – March 2024
Tēnā koutou katoa to our RRS community.
Tēnā koutou katoa, we had our first Board of Trustees meeting for 2024 on March 4. We spent quite a bit of time hearing about the reading, writing, and maths results from 2023. It was particularly pleasing to hear about the accelerated progress some of our students made; some making up to three or four years of progress on their learning milestones in just one year! Our thanks goes to our hard working kaiako, teaching assistants, and senior leadership team for their steadfast support of our students. We discussed the 2024-25 strategic plan and the annual plan for this year. We reviewed a couple of school policies and spent some time deciding on capital expenditure for 2024. A decision was made to put up new shade sails using the sturdy existing poles on the junior courtyard area. The old shade sail was badly damaged in Cyclone Gabrielle. We also decided to fund new whiteboards for Rooms 3-6. It has been very encouraging to see the refurbishment of these classrooms progress at a steady pace; senior and middle school students should be back in these rooms by the start of Term 2. A reminder that BOT meetings are public and anyone is welcome to attend and observe. Our next meeting will be held on Monday April 8 at 6pm in the staffroom.
Ngā mihi nui,
