Here Acting Principal Dean Sheppard shares his thoughts.

Kia Ora and welcome to the Mount Aspiring Newsletter,

Another week has flown by here, with lots on.  We have had our junior awards ceremonies, consulted with stakeholders on several policy revisions, forged ahead with our strategic consultation and made solid progress towards a draft plan. 

We have consulted with NZCER about our wellbeing@school survey data and are hopeful that we can gain even more insight here to help guide us with our strategic plan. As part of our wellbeing action plan, we held a Year 10 health day on Monday 16 November. Alongside this our senior students have been on study leave and have just over a week to go until their exams finish. 

Planning for our end of year camps/activity weeks is progressing and we have some exciting things in the works for next week.  

I would also like to say thank you to all our senior students who spoke so eloquently at our junior awards ceremonies. Well done.

Just over a week to go until the end of term!

Have a great weekend. 

Nga mihi,

Dean Sheppard
