I have just accepted the position of Principal for Golden Sands School, the new school being built in Papamoa East. It is going to be an exciting challenge. So far I have received a copy of the signed off plans(both building and grounds) and the logo. I am working my way through the plans of the site and the landscaping concepts. The plant pallette is all linked into the concept of "golden".
I have managed to negotiate the appointment of a DP and AP, both apparently able to start 30 weeks out - does that mean thirty weeks including or excluding holidays? The EBOT is deciding what needs to be publicised at this point.
So far the community have put together the vision and values. The logo which is a harakeke plant has 5 chunks out of one of the leaves - this represents the values. Thinking about chunks out is negative.... how can this be turned into the positive representation needed for values.... hmm some thinking to be done!
