Tēnā koutou katoa
The warm glow of a successful convention has permeated much of our work over the last month. We have appreciated the feedback from such a large number of delegates and the encouragement you have given to the work of the convention. Work begins now on finding keynote speakers and booking them in for 2021.
While the positive vibes of Convention continue I ask you to ensure that you share with your staff some of the formation videos shown at Convention and use that sharing as a time to keep reminding us of the essential mission of the school. I would also ask that you look at the website and use the promotion videos prepared to help encourage our young people to think of a career in teaching in a Catholic School. These videos are suitable for senior primary and all of secondary as a way of showing the distinct role of teaching in a Catholic School. A great deal of effort has gone in to preparing this resource. Like the Dilmah Tea Ad “Do try them!”

SEND US YOUR NEWS
With the changes in many schools’ production and circulation of school newsletters, we now are not so able to keep up with items worthy of including in the Congratulations section of Lighting New Fires.
We would love to give your school national exposure for its successes. You might consider appointing a staff member to forward to us any national level achievements by students, so that we can share your good news. Send to nzceooffice@nzceo.org.nz.
