Leader of Learning Blog
I have started a blog that will be one of the ways that I can communicate with our school and wider Flat Bush community.
The web address for the blog is http://learningleadernz.blogspot.co.nz/
Here is the the first post – http://learningleadernz.blogspot.com/2014/06/my-blog.html
Leader of Learning appointed
The establishment board for Ormiston Primary School is delighted to announce the appointment of Heath McNeil as the school’s Leader of Learning (more commonly referred to as the principal).
Heath is a highly experienced school leader with senior management positions over the last ten years including five as principal at Ramarama School south of Auckland.
Heath takes up his position from Monday 9th June 2014 and the board is looking forward to working with him towards the opening of the school in February 2015. He will be based over the next six months at Ormiston Senior College and can be contacted via his email address [email protected] or at our post office box – details below.
A brief bio of Heath McNeil is available here.
Draft enrolment zone published
The Ministry of Education has now provided a draft map and description of an enrolment zone for Ormiston Primary School – see the details under the Enrolments tab.
The draft zone, which is still subject to public consultation, has been based on the Ministry’s discussions with neighbouring school boards of trustees, on its evaluation of the developments taking place in the Flat Bush area and on its own considerations for making the best use of the schooling network.
The Ormiston Primary School Board of Trustees has arranged for two public consultation meetings to take place in May. There will be an afternoon meeting on Tuesday 20th May at 2:00pm at the Flat Bush Hall (corner of Flatbush School Road and Murphys Road) and an evening meeting on Thursday 22nd May at 7:00pm at the same venue. All are welcome.
