Mr James Murray is to be congratulated. He has won his first principal’s position at St Mary’s Gisborne. He begins in February 2010. We will certainly miss James. James has been part of the school leadership team this year in preparation for such a promotion. Gisborne is very lucky to capture him. We will certainly miss his presence here among us. We do, though, congratulate him on his promotion and wish him every success with his career.

Jessica Rejthar, our International Student Tutor is taking a year out to travel. Mrs Rosie Peacocke will relieve in her position.

Helen McCann, one of our teacher aides, is moving to Wellington to study music therapy. Thank you Helen for your valuable contribution to St Mary’s School.
