Staffing

Mr and Mrs de Kock recently informed us that they planned to return to work in the Middle East asap. We are very grateful to them for sharing the skills and talents with us. Mrs Webster will take over from Mr de Kock. She has worked in the Kotuitui space since the start of the year. Mrs Rolfe will stand in for Mrs de Kock, thereby minimising any disruption to student learning. We wish the de Kocks well as they continue their careers abroad.
