Message from the Board Chair
Year 12 Leaders Seminar 2009
I am pleased to present my first Chairperson’s report to the Wairarapa College community.
The new Board has only had two meetings since assuming office but already we are developing our plans for Board activity over the remainder of our three-year term.
We are in the fortunate position of working from the solid foundations left by the previous BOT who left the school with a wonderful asset in the form of the new hall but also worked hard on ensuring that our students and staff were able to perform to the best of their ability. I thank them for that.
As we develop our plans, we will be asking for input from you, the school community, so please take the opportunity to have your say. The Board is there to represent the community’s interests and we need feedback to ensure we are doing that. We will be receiving some external feedback shortly as in the next few months, we will have a visit by ERO. I am confident that we will have a positive review but as with all things, there will be pointers on what we could do better.
We are very lucky to have a very wide range of activity for our students to get involved with but we do need to remember that Wairarapa College is an educational institution and I would encourage all of us as parents to help our children to make wise choices as they manage their time during the second half of the year and they work towards high levels of achievement in their academic subjects.
Geoff Copps, Chairman
