Term 4 Newsletter, 2023

Welcome to Term 4, 2023.

It’s been an interesting year again and it was fantastic to see the great turnouts at all our conferences this year after 4 years of Covid heartache. Always a fun day and I truly hope those who attended found the day worthwhile. Sorry, I couldn't be with you due to back issues.

We are busy with mid-term School Board elections for 2023 and looking forward to working with all our Schools on the successful mid-term process. Our election online voting accreditation has been extended by the MOE until October 2024 and we have put in place several upgrades to our Election Manager nomination platform.

We always assist our Schools with the budgeting process so please contact your Client Finance Manager in Christchurch, Auckland, or Auckland West if you require some advice in this key area.

Lynley and her team in East Auckland and Sunita and her team in West Auckland are working hard to support their Schools and you will see some monthly Financial reporting changes coming through over the next while.

In the meantime, I hope you have an excellent final term and look forward to a wonderful Christmas break filled with fun and laughter.

Cheers, Wayne.
