FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Tena koutou katoa, warm greetings to you all
I’m delighted to announce our School Leaders for 2018. This is never an easy decision-making process,
however I know that the outstanding applications by students and the careful consideration from teachers
has meant that this year’s school leaders have been thoroughly put through their paces in becoming elected!

The school Head and Deputy students have already represented us at the opening of the Eastbourne Heritage
Trail last Sunday, where they joined with some senior students in singing a waiata to open the event to all of
us in attendance. If you have not yet seen the Heritage Trail stands, do take a look at them as you walk
around Eastbourne, they are a wonderful asset to our community.
