 Dear Parents

 It is with great joy that I write to tell you that we have appointed Kirsten Vile to the teaching position in Room 3 for 2010.

Kirsten is a new graduate of University of Canterbury, and comes to us with excellent references from her training placements.  She is a local girl, and is actually an old pupil of this school. 

The Board is delighted with this appointment, and you may well see Kirsten around the place over the rest of the year as she begins to get ready for next year.

 The appointment of a new principal is underway but it will be a few more weeks before the Board is in the position of making an appointment.

 I am pleased to also announce that the $300 ‘Stationery Fee’ we have charged to date to purchase ACE materials will from next year be reduced to $100 per student ‘Special Character Donation’ to cover the cost of the new Interact Curriculum.  This means that in 2010 fees per student will be reduced from $750 to $550.  We believe this large reduction in fees will make Richmond View School even more attractive to prospective families so please pass this information on to any families you are in contact with. 

We are really excited about next year, with Kirsten and a new Principal, with the new New Zealand Curriculum and the Interact Curriculum which we will be working with, and a new fully functioning library.  2010 is going to be a great year for this school.
