Tēnā koutou katoa,
This email is to inform you about a decision made by the Glenbervie School Board of Trustees (BOT) regarding the current discussions in Aotearoa New Zealand about the removal of the legal requirement for schools to give effect to Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi).

Key Information
·  Discussion: The removal of this legal requirement was discussed at our recent BOT meeting.

·  Decision: The Board has determined it is appropriate for Glenbervie School to issue a letter expressing our stance, in line with many other schools across the country.

·  Our Position: At Glenbervie School, we firmly hold the values of Te Tiriti o Waitangi.   Our resolve to honour the spirit and substance of Te Tiriti remains steadfast.

·  Attached is the letter that will shortly be sent to Prime Minister Christopher Luxon and Education Minister Erica Stanford. 

Questions
If you have any questions or would like to discuss this matter further, please do not hesitate to contact the Board directly via email at bot@glenbervie.school.nz

On behalf of the PTA, we’d like to thank you all for your ongoing support each Wednesday, helping us bring hotdogs to our tamariki while raising funds for our kura.

There will be no hotdog day this Wednesday due to the Year 6 Leavers Assembly and preparations for the Leavers’ Dinner.

We’ll be back up and running in Term 1, 2026!

Many thanks, 

Glenbervie School PTA
