Cherie Boyd

Chairperson

Templeton Primary School

Parent Support Group (PSG)

On Tuesday we had our April PSG (Parent Support Group) meeting.  It was also the AGM.  At the AGM we farewelled some long-serving members: Yvonne Lins, Casey Egan-Beach, and Natasha Campbell - thank you for your service to our kura.

We also welcomed Ang Cochrane as our new Treasurer.  We are lucky to have Sarah Arnold continuing as Secretary and Cherie Boyd as our chairperson.

In Cherie's chairperson's speech, she read out the list of their achievements over the last calendar year.  Remember this was from April 2020 until now, so an unusual sort of year.  We were blown away by the mahi/work that they have done for our kura, tamariki, and whānau/community.

We have a core group of 12 members and recently welcomed Marianne to the team.  These people work tirelessly for us and we want to acknowledge and thank them for this.  Please feel free to join them as they love new faces!

Here is the list!  It is very impressive.  Thank you so very much from all of us at Templeton School / Te Kura o Rātā.
