Newsletter No. 2000/9

Dear Parents/Caregivers

The Board of Trustees is delighted to advise that it has today appointed Mrs Sylvia Burch as the new Principal of Hutt Valley High School. Mrs Burch’s appointment was made following a nationwide recruitment campaign which drew a very high quality choice of candidates. The Board is confident that Mrs Burch will provide the positive professional leadership, initiative and drive to successfully guide the school and enhance its already fine record of achievement.

Mrs Burch has a long association with the school. She was Dux and Head Girl as a pupil, has been on the staff since 1991, and is the Associate Principal and current Acting Principal. Mrs Burch will commence as Principal immediately. The Board intends to seek applications to fill the resulting vacancy as Associate Principal immediately.

Mrs Burch has the unanimous support of the Board and we feel fortunate that we have been able to appoint such a capable person to follow our fine tradition of great principals.

Yours faithfully


John Strahl
Chairperson
Board of Trustees
