Kia ora and welcome to 2019 at Burnham School.
I would like to extend a very warm welcome to our new students who are settling in well and to
wish them many happy years here. I’d also like to welcome our new teaching and support staff:
Achievement - Angitu
Tipene Walker, Chris Hall, Fi Laird and Maryse Vernon, and encourage you to take the
opportunity to meet them at our Meet the Teacher evening on Wednesday 13 February. Our
dedicated, experienced staff work tirelessly to provide the very best education for all the
children. We aim to provide a warm caring environment where students can achieve their full
potential academically, physically and socially.
It’s a privilege to be in the role of Acting Principal while Sandra is seconded to the DHB for the
next 18 months. It’s going to be a fun and busy term ahead and we will keep you up to date with
events here at school.
If you have any questions please feel free to make a time to see your classroom teacher or
myself.
Kind regards
Marie Smith

the farm at the end of your child’s booked time. WINZ
