Good morning everyone,

The Board of Trustees is looking for someone to take minutes at their meetings. These are typically held on Wednesday evenings from 5:30pm and run for about two to three hours. There are around eight meetings held each year, and the role itself is straightforward.

The Board is made up of five community members, one staff representative, and the Principal: Jordan Jordaan, David Reeves, Luther Putu, Marinelle Martin, Guy Oclee-Brown, Jo Crene, and Warren Brown (currently on sabbatical, with Donna Clarke acting as Principal until the end of Term 4).

If you have any questions, feel free to speak with any of the Board members, have a chat with Wilma in the office, or email the Board directly at bot@glenbervie.school.nz.

This position requires discretion and accuracy in recording meeting discussions. You will be working with a friendly group of people who are all focused on doing what’s best for our school, our students, and our community. 

If that sounds like you, we would love to hear from you!

 

Warm regards,

Glenbervie School BoT

Good Morning Everyone,

 

Apparently some people were unable to view the graphs. Please see attached what I believe will now be visible. Thank you to those who let me know there was an issue. Sorry for the mix-up.

Dear Glenbervie School Community,

The Board of Trustees are writing to you today with an important update regarding the proposed compulsory school uniform policy.

First, we want to thank everyone who participated in the recent survey. Your engagement and feedback are truly valued, and with over 180 votes submitted, we saw a strong response from our community. The final results were very close, with 43.8% in favor of the policy and 56.2% against. We have included an overview of the results below for those who are interested.

After careful consideration, the Board has resolved not to adopt the compulsory uniform policy at this stage. Given the close outcome, it is clear that there are still questions and concerns that need to be addressed. We believe it is essential to continue consulting with our community to ensure any future decision is well-informed and has broader support. This matter will remain under review as part of our ongoing cycle of planning and consultation.

For those who have already placed orders with Uniform Hub, they have been contacted and will be in touch with you directly in due course to manage your order.

Thank you once again for your engagement throughout this process. We also want to acknowledge the significant amount of work dedicated to this initiative by our staff, Senior Leadership Team (SLT), and the Board of Trustees.

Please reach out to us if you have any questions. bot@glenbervie.school.nz 

Warm regards,

Glenbervie Board of Trustees
