In the next two weeks we will gather at the Convention in Wellington and enjoy time together. In the meantime I am mindful that there are a number of conversations in our communities about what schools might look like in the future and what changes might be suggested by the review of Tomorrow's Schools.

It is important to remember that no recommendations or plans have been sent to the Minister at this point but the conversations around NZ need your participation. If a local hui is held I encourage you to go and see what the prevailing trends are.

Catholic education in this country is an important part of the state’s provision of schooling and whatever iteration comes from the review we need to be a voice in shaping it.

Mā te Atua e manaaki,
