President’s invitationSTRENGTHENING EXCELLENT GOVERNANCE FOR IMPROVED STUDENT OUTCOMES

Courage doesn't always roar. Sometimes courage is the quiet voice at the

end of the day saying, 'I will try again tomorrow.' ~Mary Anne Radmacher

All member boards of trustees are invited to our 29th Annual Conference – Yes, it is our 29th birthday and we have been part of the education system for 29 years – so how well do you think you are doing?

Big achievements bring big rewards. It may be fame, or fortune, a prize, or the buzz you get from knowing you’ve really done something special and notable.

Sometimes being on the board of trustees gives you the opportunity to get those big wins. Most often though, the board’s work is like the work our students do. Its evolution not revolution; incremental rather than transformative. It’s this incremental, drop-in-the-bucket stuff that eventually creates the opportunity for the revolutionary, transformative big wins.

It can be easy to underestimate the importance of being persistent and being resilient – those qualities that enable us to just keep on keeping on, learning from our experience to date, and doing a bit better next time.

This is why we are trustees – not for the glory, the fame and fortune, but because it is a job that is worth doing, and worth doing well. It doesn’t always need us to roar.

Sometimes, doing well means doing something different and outstanding that makes people stop and gasp in wonder. Sometimes doing well means continuing to do what you are already doing well, in the knowledge that there is always something that can be improved and to continue to look for that something until you find it. Sometimes it means taking the knocks, getting back up and continuing to do what we know is right.

The better you are already doing, the more likely it is that your successes will be incremental ones – building a solid platform for the next big transformation whenever it comes. Even when you are already doing well – even excellence can be improved on.

Kia mau! Hang in there!

Kia toa! Be brave!

Kia kaha! Be strong, keep going!

Kia manawanui! Be courageous!

As with every other conference there is a smorgasbord of professional development on offer – we know there will be something there for each and every one of you.

We look forward to seeing you all in Rotorua – a geyserland experience we know you will enjoy.

Invitation to attend the AGMSATURDAY 21 JULY 2018, 11.30AM, ENERGY EVENTS CENTRE, ROTORUA

All NZSTA member boards are warmly invited to attend the NZSTA Annual General Meeting.

Our AGM is an important part of the annual NZSTA conference. The NZSTA Annual General meeting (AGM) is your board’s best opportunity to discuss important issues direct with the NZSTA President and Board, and other NZSTA member boards. NZSTA is your organisation. It is important that you take this opportunity to be heard. All boards that are paid-up members of NZSTA (membership subs must be paid by 31 March 2018) are entitled to participate in and vote at the AGM. The AGM is run in accordance with the rules set out in the NZSTA constitution. The AGM agenda is set in advance by the NZSTA Board. AGM agenda items may be notified by member boards as notices of motion (remits). Remit templates and other information will be sent to all boards asking for notices of motion to be returned to NZSTA National Office by Monday 10 April.

Each NZSTA member board appoints one trustee to speak and vote on their behalf at AGM (the AGM Delegate) but every board member is encouraged to attend in support of their delegate and to listen to the discussions first-hand. You do not need to speak at AGM in order to be an AGM Delegate, but you must be an AGM Delegate in order to speak.

If your board is not able to attend conference, you should register a proxy vote through a delegate from another member board in your region. An Appointment of Delegate

form will be sent to your board in April, along with details of the remits that will be discussed. A quorum of 10% of all NZSTA member boards is required for the AGM to proceed. The quorum is the minimum number of member boards that need to be present at the AGM to make valid decisions for NZSTA, so it is important that your board exercises its right to vote, either by its presence at the AGM or through a delegate.

The AGM provides the opportunity for your board to hold NZSTA officeholders to account for the running of the association during the previous 12 months. Each year at the AGM members of NZSTA:• receive and consider the NZSTA’s Board’s annual

report to members• receive and consider the NZSTA’s Board’s annual

financial statements• appoint the auditor for the coming year• set the annual NZSTA membership fee• consider other business of which due notice has been

given• consider any other business that the majority of voting

member boards represented at the AGM choose to accept

To exercise your board’s right to vote at the AGM, you must ensure your board completes and returns an Appointment of Delegate form. Appointment of Delegate forms must be returned to NZSTA National Office by seven days prior to the AGM (Saturday 14 July).

Notes 19

The name ‘Darryl Lovegrove’ is synonymous with entrepreneurialism, innovation and quality in the world of entertainment.

Renowned for having revolutionised corporate entertainment world-wide when he and his former business partner created operatic sensation “The Three Waiters” – a simple operatic entertainment concept that performed to millions, it became the most-booked corporate act in the world!

To date it has performed over 12,000 shows and be seen in over 85 countries employing over 100 opera singers worldwide.

By the time he sold his financial interest in The Three Waiters in 2009 he (and his former business partner) had established offices in Sydney, London and New York.

The Three Waiters was the recipient of several American entertainment awards including “Entertainer of the Year” Spotlight Award in 2002 and 2006 in addition to a “Best Performing Artist Award” in 2006.

He has appeared in the Lennon-McCartney inspired Australasian tour of ‘Let it be’ as well as in Australian composer Gavin Lockley’s ‘Ballads of the Bush’ at the Sydney Opera House.

Darryl has been voted three years running in Spice Magazine’s ‘Top 5 speakers/performers’ and is now one of the most in demand speakers around the world.

Sir Mark Solomon was born in Christchurch and is a Māori leader from the Ngāi Tahu and Ngāti Kurī (Kaikōura) Iwi.

He served as chairperson of Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, the tribal council of Ngāi Tahu, from 1998 to 2016. Mark was named the ‘Visionary Leader of 2012’ by New Zealand Management Magazine at the National Business Awards, and in 2013 was appointed Knight Companion of the New Zealand Order of Merit for services to Māori and Business. Mark continues to work in various roles including as Chair of the Canterbury District Health Board, and as a trustee of Pure Advantage. Mark strongly believes in his Iwi’s Whakatauki (Proverb) ‘Mō tātou, ā, mō kā uri ā muri ake nei’ – which means ‘For us, and our children after us’.

After a difficult upbringing Stan became a youth worker and later a teacher in Invercargill and Samoa, before working in Alternative Education in Porirua. He then worked in the National Ministry of Education office and the local Invercargill Ministry.

Moving back to the classroom he took on the role of Deputy Principal before becoming a Principal in 2009. He is currently the Principal of Invercargill Middle School/Te Puna Waiora, a school that was a finalist of the 2016 Prime Minister's awards and then the joint winner of the 2017 Prime Minister's Award for Teaching and Learning.

With his range of experience in different areas of education, Stan

hopes to make a positive difference for all children, supporting them to succeed as themselves. He is committed to moving the school system towards meeting students where they are, instead of students moving to meet the need of institutions.

He believes strongly that the team and community approach, including staff, students, whanau and boards of trustees is the best way to see exponential development of a school.

Katie was inspired to enter the teaching profession by the desire to make a difference and to pay forward the kindness, support and encouragement from a very special teacher. Her passion for education is at the very heart of who she is. A teacher and school leader with 20 years’ experience, Katie has been the recipient of the ASG NEiTA Excellence in Teaching Awards for 2016 and 2017.

Katie began in the classroom to meet a specific need, she initiated an inquiry into oral language. This developed into a case study, which resulted in her school winning the Prime Minister’s Education Award. She then developed and facilitated a teacher led inquiry around dialogic practice and vocabulary. As a direct result, teacher/student speech and interaction at the school has impacted all aspects of teaching, learning and relationships. Katie’s students’ progress at an accelerated rate, based on their specific learning needs, through an additive model. Students enjoy success and progress as themselves – bringing cultures, beliefs and experiences to the classroom. Katie focuses on building and maintaining a constant whanaungatanga based culture, which provides safety, challenge and support.

Master of Ceremonies

MC PIO TEREI MNZM

Master of CeremoniesIt’s always a pleasure to have Pio as our Master of Ceremonies. He will entertain us and keep us on track as the conference progresses. Pio’s numerous appearances in the past decade as a comedian, actor, radio and television host, musician and performer have established him as one of New Zealand’s most popular and personable entertainers.

Pio came to notice in 1995 when he headlined his own TV3 show, ‘Pete and Pio’, with fellow comedian Peter Rowley. He led his own show simply called 'Pio' and hosted ‘Christmas in the Park’.

In the 2012 New Year Honours List Pio was awarded an MNZM for his services to entertainment. Pio has much planned and prepared for our conference attendees.

MasterclassesSPACES ARE LIMITED AND REGISTRATIONS WILL BE ACCEPTED ON A FIRST IN FIRST SERVED BASIS.

MASTERCLASS ONE: GOVERNANCEInclusive Schools

CLEAVE HAY, Principal Advisor, Governance NZSTA

Boards are responsible for ensuring that education practices are fully inclusive of all students, family and whānau, that all of these groups are represented effectively in planning and – decision-making. Your school is required to provide a safe physical and emotional environment for all its people.

This masterclass will explore inclusive education at the board level, inclusive criteria, how it might be measured by the board and the reality of it all.

MASTERCLASS TWO: EMPLOYMENT Grievances/Dispute ResolutionsROB GOLD, General Manager, Operations, NZSTA

Gripes, grumbles and grievances; Employment disputes that end in grievances are almost always avoidable. These disputes cost time, money and sanity and often end up with trustees walking away due to frustration. This workshop looks at avoiding the gripes becoming grievances but will also examine what happens if you end up involved in one.

This session will be interactive using a mix of case studies, group discussion and scenarios.

GOVERNANCE & EMPLOYMENT MASTERCLASSESAt our 2018 conference we will again be offering masterclasses. These will be for very experienced trustees in both governance and employment areas. Numbers will be limited, first registered. They will be ‘double-sessions’ with a particular emphasis on an area of topical governance and separately in employment.

These masterclass sessions will be a mixture of focussed learning, updates, and plenty of time for interaction across the room and with the specialist material expert presenters.
