Review Report
Development
7:30 Social Science Capabilities - Achievement/Development Review - please read this document before the meeting as it will not be read at the meeting and to give the work credit (teachers and students), it should be read. Please come with comments/clarifications / musings etc. We are proud of this work, this is our present development and the way we are moving forward.
7:50: Wondering? For our Maori consultation, this year would it be worth inviting key members of Moeraki Marae to the school, doing a welcome, and requesting their input into our building and what we should see in it. We could ask Maori families to join us (probably term 4). Thoughts on this or variations would be good to have.
ERO - line of sight documentation. This is what has been put together to share with ERO in the first instance. The board has gone through this whole process and does own the process but it's worth knowing where it is and keeping it on top. We will not read this, it is for information.

Move to clarify that the delegations for recruitment also apply to approving "Flexible Working Arrangements," ie the principal has authority for one term, senior leadership has authority for more than one term and board personnel committee for a permanent change.
