School Organisation
Our children and staff are settling in well to our new structure. Thank you for your support in making this work so well!
Whanau Harakeke and Whanau Kowhai are firmly fixed at the Town Site. Dinah Wallis is their team leader. Jane Morrison and Francie Graham are the Harakeke crew and Rachel Ono and Sarah Stanley are working with Dinah in Kowhai. Bernice Swain is also a member of the Town Site team.
The Hill Site team are lead by Janet Powell. She is a part of Whanau Raupo with Eve Poff and Anne Grieve. Whanau Totara is staffed by Rachel Cummins and Danielle Lane. Jeremy Orczy is also a part of the Hill Site team.
This year, we have a team of release teachers who will provide classroom release time (CRT) for our teachers on alternate Fridays. They will run learning activities from various curriculum areas for both teams. Lesley Ashworth, Maree Bigelow, Barb Corbett, Kath Patel and Matthew Reid are the Release Team. Lesley will continue in her part time role as specialist learning advisor. Maree will also work in our afternoon programme, and provide team leader release along with Matthew.
Lyn Carson is our admin person based at the Town Site and Rita Norris is our admin person at the Hill Site. Brett Partell continues as our caretaker.
Our learning support workers are Kerry Absolum, Tracey Adams, Hazel Stokes, Rhona Moore and Angela Rolinson.
