Canterbury Education Services


Welcome back to 2024!

I hope you all had a fantastic break and Christmas was all you hoped it would be. We all look forward to 2024 and the good things that will happen. 

As for me, after 30 years with CES, it is time to re-purpose my life and I will finish here on 22nd March. I am looking forward to some late adventures and sharing my time in a voluntary capacity with several organisations. 

It has been truly wonderful working with you all along the way whether it be for financials, our seminars and conferences, fixed asset work, or School Board elections. 

Our Board has appointed a new General Manager and further details will be forthcoming about that shortly. In the meantime, go well, and all the very best. 

Cheers,

Wayne.
