Tena koe Mr Fairclough

Nga mihi nui ki a koe. Greetings.

The Ministry of Education has received a copy of the confirmed Accountability Review Report for Vogeltown School dated 28 November 2001. It was a delight to read such a positive report, which praises many aspects of the school's management and governance.

The principals leadership, the teachers' "excellent teaching skills" and the sound governance of the Board of Trustees all receive commendation.

Within an empowering, motivating, supportive environment, students become enthusiastic learners and presenters of high quality work.

Principal, staff, members of the board of trustees, and students are to be congratulated on achieving such a high standard. I look forward to receiving a similar report in a few years time.

Well done.

Yours sincerely
Naku, noa, na
