Kia orana,

I have returned to Mana College from a term 3 sabbatical and have been on a trip all over New Zealand with my band The Kugels. 

Very happy to have almost completed a month long , 22 venue, 4700 kilometer, nationwide tour for Arts On Tour NZ. The band had great fun and we have shared our music with wonderful audiences in small diverse locations from one end of Aotearoa to the other. Feeling very privileged and we live in the most beautiful country in the world. 

I am very grateful to Rosaleen Moxley for carrying out my LAH duties for term 4 and to Steve Swanson for running my classes and Laura Loach for helping him. Thank-you to the Mana College Board Of Trustees for granting my leave and to Mr Murdoch for being so supportive. Looking forward to term 4 and fabulous to be back.

Nga mihi nui.

Whaea Jacs
