Term 4 Update

18/10/2022

 
Welcome back to what is always an exciting term, Term 4.  Be sure to keep an eye on the school calendar for dates such as Prize Giving and other events.
We celebrate the enrolment of our 300th student this week with a planned celebration on Friday.  We will meet on the court, take a drone pic of the school and eat cake!  As our numbers continue to grow, so does our waiting list.  Our roll cap is 345 causing year groups to fill and be closed as they reach a certain threshold. I suggest, if you have children under 5 you enrol them early to secure a spot.  While we grow, our focus remains on quality of both relationship and learning/growing.  God has blessed us.

We advertised lately for a Deputy Principal position to support the growth of the school.  I am pleased to announce Julian Adamson as the successful applicant.  Julian is very experienced and well educated in educational leadership and will fulfil this role very well.  Congratulations Julian.
Our team is close and we work together almost all the time.  The most significant change will be that there will be a clear delegated leader in my absence.  Your first contact will remain the teacher, then the Junior, Middle or Senior head, then the DP.
​
The leadership structure will look like this beginning 2023:

Congratulations to Eden Amos also for being elected as the Student Rep on the RVS Board (BoT) beginning today.  The race was close, well done all of those who ran.
​Thank you to Bailey Watson and Inus van der Westhuizen who have been with us for a year now and have been hugely appreciated by the BoT.  Bailey Watson will forever hold the title of first ever BoT Student Rep for RVS.
Petra Bridgen also opted not to stand again in the recent elections.  Petra has been an amazing, stable, Godly figure in the development of the school over the last six or seven years.  Her influence, humility and commitment to RVS cannot be overstated.  Thank you Petra for your huge contribution to this school. 
Thank you to all who helped at the RVS Support Crew Disco.  I popped in and loved the amazing atmosphere, the huge number of kids and Mrs Crossley's dancing, over $500 was raised - thank you again RVS Crew.
Continue to pray for our Y11 and 12 students as they head into NCEA exams.  Y11 and 12 students, I say to you, do not shy away from a month or so of delayed gratification & hard work.  Pay now, play later as the saying goes.  The feeling of having applied one's self after the exams have finished, the feeling of knowing you have done all you could is one I want you all to know.  Reach out for help if you need it and remember to ask your loving Heavenly Father to be with you.
​
God bless
