We hope that you have all been enjoying some relaxation over the break and we look forward to seeing many of you next week. We ask that you please read the following important notices regarding next term.Resignation of Year 10 DeanWe regret to inform you that Mr Mark Bellham will take up a position at St Peter’s School Cambridge from the beginning of next term. Mr Bellham has been a great friend of Waikato Diocesan School for Girls and we wish him all the best for his future endeavors. The following outlines the procedures and programmes that we have put in place to ensure the least amount of disruption to student learning and wellbeing, given the changes that Mr Bellham's departure creates.
We will notify you of the permanent appointments as soon as they have been made. Please don’t hesitate to get in touch with Mrs Mary Curran, Principal, or any of the outlined staff (detailed above) if you have any concerns. Early Finish for Years 11, 12 and 13 Learning ConferencesTo accommodate a large number of boarding parents that will attend our senior Learning Conferences (Parent/Teacher Interviews), the school will close early at 2.30 pm on Friday 9 August 2019. The Te Awamutu bus runs will arrive early to transport our students but, unfortunately, the Cambridge buses will run at the usual time. Students who need to remain at school after 2.30 pm can use the library and will be supervised by staff. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause. Monitor now at School ShopFrom the start of next term, the Monitor system will be able to be used by students purchasing stationery/event tickets from the school shop. Monitor allows parents to load funds on to their daughter’s student identity card, which can then be used to pay for certain items at school. Each identity card will hold a canteen account, shop account, and a photocopying account. *Please note that uniform items can still be charged against the student’s account If you have any questions regarding Monitor, please contact Mrs Rae Francis or Mrs Sara Kimpton in the school finance office - phone (07) 855 2038.
