Kia ora everyone,

After travelling to Rotorua to a conference last week, this week I'm on the road to Dunedin to a Principals recruitment day at the University of Otago. Getting good staff is always a priority and, with the teacher shortage, it has become quite a competitive market! Over 70 principals from all over New Zealand will be promoting their schools and trying to nab the new graduates ready to start in 2024! 

As it's the start of the term we are opening the Term 3 policy review.  This term we are reviewing our "Inclusive Education" policy and "Māori Educational Success" policy. The review is open until the end of the term.

To find our policies:

• Click on this link https://www.schooldocs.co.nz/ (or google "school docs").

• Search for "Waimate High School" (or you can use this link to go straight there)

• Log in using the following details - username "waimate-high" password "learning".

• To see what policies are under review, click the "under review button"

• Click on a policy and if you wish to submit feedback then click on the red "under review button". The feedback can be anonymous or you can add your name.

• A link to the School Docs site will also be available through our school website.

Looking forward to seeing you all next week at the 3-way subject teacher conference. 

Have a great weekend,

Jo
