Teaching and Learning Plans for 2015
Many of you will have had a chance to read our latest developments. Here they are again for you:
I am writing to inform you of a late
but unavoidable change to the staffing for 2015 and thank our wonderful
staffing team for supporting these changes.
Our congratulations go to Mrs
Frances-Rees who has just been appointed as Principal of St Joseph’s school in
Pleasant Point. She will commence this
new role in Term 2, 2015.
As a result, Miss Tangney will become
the Yr 7 teacher and work in collaboration with Mr Moore (Yr 8) and Miss Huls
(Yr 6) in the Senior Learning Hub. Miss Huls has previous Yr 6 teaching
experience and is looking forward to becoming part of the senior team. Miss Megan Day will teach in Tawa and join
Mrs Burke in Junior Learning Hub 2. Miss
Day relieved for Miss Huls last week and has been working part time at St
Bernadette's in Dunedin. Mrs Frances-Rees
will remain as Deputy Principal and Learning Hub Facilitator to support all
staff and students with the transition to collaborative team learning and
teaching environments during Term 1.
Please don't hesitate to contact me if you have any questions about next year.

Farewell Miss Jackson
Tomorrow is the last day for Miss Jackson. It's been a pleasure to be able to support her at the beginning of her teaching career. Miss Jackson has been with us since September 2012 as the Kawakawa teacher. We thank her for her hard work as an enthusiastic teacher in our Junior school and for her efforts in establishing our successful St Joseph's Gymnastic's club this year. We wish her every blessing for her teaching post as New Entrant teacher at Holy Family school in Melbourne, Australia. 
Thank you
Thanks to everyone who has contributed to a wonderful year at St Joseph's for 2014.
On behalf of the board and staff, I would like to wish you all a safe and joyous Christmas break. We look forward to welcoming you back to school on the 2nd February 2015.
