Wairarapa College Board of Trustees Elections
May 2013
If you would like to know more about the role of the BOT in school governance, please contact the Board on bot@waicol.co.nz. You are also welcome to come to a meeting as an observer. This is a valuable way to become involved in your child’s education so please consider standing.

BOT Chair
Message from the Board Chair
Athletics Day
I would encourage all of our community of parents and caregivers to consider how they can contribute to the Wairarapa College possibly through involvement in the BOT or several other avenues such as the PTA and the Hostel Parents Committee.
And as previously stated, if the BOT is of interest, come along to a meeting to get a feel before you commit. Our next meeting is on Wednesday 17th April at 7.00 pm.
In the last newsletter I referred to the numerous consultations that will begin shortly around both the physical and education environment. The timetables for both of these will be out soon.
There is also change happening at an operational level with the move to a new student management system which will make things much more efficient. One such efficiency is the use of email to communicate with you, our community. If you are receiving the newsletter by post and you have an email address, can you please let us know what it is? We are currently spending thousands of dollars on mail that would be better spent on education
For any queries to the board our email is bot@waicol.co.nz
We have been receiving some feedback which is good and we welcome all contact, good and bad.
Geoff Copps, Chairperson
