Good Afternoon,

We have had an excellent start to the year across all three South Campus sites at Timaru, Dunedin and Gore, and it has been great to welcome everybody back to OneSchool especially our new students and teachers.

The highlight for Year 11-13 students this week has been meeting their VC teachers at OneSchool Rangiora and the annual Achiever Seminar.   This was a very memorable day, and it was good to resume face-to-face VC teacher meetings after a gap of several years.

The outstanding new Gore facility is a superb learning environment and is a real credit to the hours (and years) that have gone into planning and building it, and also to the staff who have worked so hard to make the start of the new year a success.  Thank you again to everyone who has put so much effort into this. 

We trust everyone has a very enjoyable extended Waitangi Day weekend, and we look forward to everyone coming back refreshed on Tuesday next week.

Jonathan Moore, for the CA team

Mrs Gilbert - Campus Principal, Gore Campus

My name is Sarah Gilbert and my family and I moved from Dunedin to Gore in early 2022.  I have been teaching for 17 years including one year at East Gore School as Deputy Principal where I spent a term as Acting Principal. I was at  Kaikorai Primary School for 8 year as Assistant Principal. During my time there I completed a lot of professional learning around modern and innovative learning environments, I spent a lot of time developing teachers and how we would teach in preparation for our move into brand new school buildings. I know find myself working in a brand new school and am very proud to be working with such a dedicated staff, students and community.
