March Meeting : Wednesday 21 March 2018 – Community Update
The Board of Trustees had our second meeting last week with the College.
Initial drainage work on the Quad has begun and we are waiting on the Ministry to approve construction and landscaping to begin in the April school holidays as planned. We are grateful to the Parents' Association who have kindly agreed to pay for the plants.
Mrs Hewetson, Deputy Principal, gave the board an excellent update on the Middle Years Programme and the work being carried out by school staff to successfully implement the programme. The work required is school-wide, which means the coordination and effort is considerable. Progress has been very good, and it was interesting to hear staff trustee Ms Stone, Head of Drama, give a staff perspective of the challenges faced. The board is grateful for the efforts of all staff in preparing for and implementing MYP.
