Jason Esplin - our Board Chair, Janine Clague - Senior Dean and I had a site meeting with the Project Manager and builders this morning, checking on the progress with the senior block. It is exciting to see the development so far and have a clearer idea of what the learning spaces will look like when the project is completed. Our senior teachers and students are to be commended for the way in which they are coping so well with the present building challenges.

Just a reminder that the Leadership Team will shortly be looking at composition of classes for next year. Should you wish to discuss placement of your child/children for next year regarding academic, social issues, etc please contact me by phone or email, or contact the office to make an appointment to see me by Monday 5 November.

We have received notification from the Dunedin City Council that we are one of 14 schools selected where a 40 km/h variable speed limit is proposed. Copies of the statement of proposal, the proposed bylaw and maps showing the proposed speed limits are available at the DCC's customer service centres and libraries, at www.dunedin.govt.nz/consultation or by phoning 477 4000.
