Board of Trustees Elections 2019

A strong Board of Trustees is central to our continuing success as a school. Much like a business we deal with issues including property, finance, human resources etc., on top of the priorities of teaching and learning and the wellbeing of our young people. If you feel you can provide expertise in any of these areas or want to direct your energy for the good of the students please consider this important community role.

2019 Swimming Sports

Last week we enjoyed the last of the summer swimming programme with both our own school sports and the Kerikeri inter-schools competition run in the same week. 

Many students put their names forward to compete in our school event, and with the generous help of our parents we were able to get all the children down to Kawakawa pool. The opportunity to compete and build confidence in the same pool as the inter-school competition was a bonus.

We want to acknowledge all the following students for their participation and performances on the day across freestyle, breast stroke and back stroke. In the girls Aimee, Chilli, Taungarangi, Kaia, Kia, Eva, Shanae, Keira and Hannah-May all took. placings. In the boys Mikaera, Te Awa, Reef, Tyron and Bosco were the place getters.

To the inter-schools competition Bay Academy swimmers performed with distinction. Kaia Derbyshire took out 1st place in all 3 categories of freestyle, breaststroke and backstroke. Mikaera Porter took out firsts in the breast and back stroke and a second in freestyle. Other swimmers to perform well and gain placings in their events were Eva Wyman, Aimee Croucher, and Bosco and Amalfi. Thanks again go the the parents who assisted teacher Sam Roessler to give the students this great opportunity.

School Policies - A reminder

The school works on a subscription basis with SchoolDocs to maintain, update, and review our policies. SchoolDocs provides us with a comprehensive core set of policies which have been well researched and follow the Ministry of Education National Administration Guidelines. The policies and procedures are tailored to our school, and the school supplies specific information such as our charter, and procedures for behaviour management, reporting to parents, etc. 

SchoolDocs updates, modifies, or creates policies in response to changes in legislation or Ministry guidelines, significant events, reviews/requests from schools, and regular reviewing from the SchoolDocs team. Our board of trustees has the opportunity to view changes/additions and comment on them before they are implemented. We will advise you when policies are up for review and how you can take part in the review.
