Board of Trustees Meeting – December 2024
Tēnā koutou katoa.
Tēnā koutou katoa to our RRS community. This is our final BOT feedback post for the year. We met on December 9 and spent some time reflecting on 2024 and discussing plans for 2025. As you may know from previous feedback posts, there has been much planning going into the learning areas of numeracy and literacy with the new curricula coming into all primary classrooms next year. It is pleasing to report that there is a solid plan in place to integrate the structured literacy approach to teaching reading and that the new maths teaching resource will be adopted from the start of Term One.
We discussed and prioritised capital expenditure for 2025; there will be a focus on upgrading the basketball and netball facilities as well as purchasing more furniture and digital devices for our growing school roll. We also debriefed the latest financial report; the school continues to be in a healthy financial position.
On behalf of the RRS Board, I would like to wish every member of our school community an enjoyable and restful holiday season. Thank you to our hard working teachers and staff for your efforts this year to inspire and grow our children.
Warm regards,
Katie Turner
Current Presiding Member of RRS BOT
