A MESSAGE FROM THE PRINCIPAL
Nau mai, haere mai, nau mai, haere mai ki te kura o St Mary's, Gore, he kura tuatahi (tau 0 - 6) he kura katorika motuhake.
I hangaia to matou kura i runga i te tikanga tuku iho a Whaea Catherine McAuley i te tau 1890 e nga Sisters of Mercy. Ko nga uaratanga o te kura mo te whakapono, te tumanako me te aroha i ahu mai i nga Rongopai, e arahi ana i a tatou i roto i to tatou ako, i te haerenga whakapono me te whanaungatanga ki etahi atu. Ko te Mercy Charism e whakamana ana i a tatou tamariki kia noho hei hongere o te aroha o te Atua na roto i nga mahi a-ringa, mahi mahi o te mahi me te aroha.
E wawata ana matou ki te whakarato ki a maatau akonga he taiao akoranga haumaru, tautoko hoki e whakaaro ai ratou ka taea e ratou te tiri me te whakatipu i o raatau pukenga me te whai waahi ki to tatou kura me te hapori whanui.
Mai i ta matou tirohanga o te kura: 'Ka wehe atu a Tamariki (tamariki) i te Kura o Hato Meri me te maia ka taea e ratou te whakahaere i a ratou ano, te kawe i a ratou ano ki nga waahi katoa e haere ana, me te whakatutuki i o raatau whainga, me te kite i a ratou ano hei akonga mo te ao katoa.'
Kei te tumanako a matou kaimahi ki te tutaki i a koe me a koutou tamariki me te powhiri i a koutou katoa ki roto i to tatou hapori kura.
Ma te Atua e manaaki - God bless,
;

Staff Directory
St Mary's Board
We are a Catholic School and so our school board is made up a little differently from a State school board. We have eleven board members:
-
5 elected members
-
4 Proprietor’s representatives (including our Parish Priest)
-
1 elected staff member
-
the school principal
Board elections are held every three years, with the next election being September 2025.
Boards of Trustees are accountable to parents and caregivers, their local communities, the Minister of Education and the Ministry of Education, other government agencies and the public, for their actions and performance.
The Board is the employer of all the school’s staff and is responsible for:
-
setting the school’s strategic and policy direction in consultation with parents, staff and students.
-
ensuring that the school provides a safe environment and quality education for all its students.
-
overseeing the management of curriculum, staff, property, finance and administration.
-
constantly monitoring and reviewing progress against targets to inform future planning.
The board’s role is to oversee the governance of the school and to ensure that everything that needs to be done gets done – legally, ethically, and as well as possible in the best interests of its students. We are lucky to have the great people we have that help steward the school, protect our Special Character and support our progress and success.
If you would like to know more about the board or access the approved minutes from previous meetings please contact the school office.
