Officer Nomination
North Shore Montessori Primary Development Trust
Officer Nomination: 21 June 2010

The North Shore Montessori Primary Development Trust is calling for nominations to stand for the Management Committee at the Annual General Meeting.

Download Nomination Form

Much has happened since the last AGM, and the Trust is intending to be an important part in ensuring that there is a Montessori primary education presence on the North Shore.

There is much that the Trust can do to support the efforts currently being undertaken in the North Shore Montessori Community, and it is through membership and active participation as part of the Management Committee that the Trust can be successful in assisting these efforts.

The current positions held are listed as follows:

Position Held by

President Brian Westbrooke

Vice-President vacant

Treasurer Allan Rutledge

Secretary Benny Wentzel

Fundraising Committee Convenor vacant

Promotion Committee Convenor vacant

Trustees without Portfolio Rita Csako and Sacha  Belcourt

The Trust deed demands that all members must resign at the AGM and if desired, re-stand for election. As such all positions are available for nomination.

With the Trust currently not directly operating a Montessori Unit, it is reasonable to expect the the roles and work load for future Management Committee members to be some what different from the past.

The potential is to be part of scoping the next chapter for the Trust. It is an exciting prospect for the future of Montessori primary education on the North Shore.

Nominations to the Management Committee must be in writing (please click here to download the nomination form) and must reach the Secretary by 21 June 2010. Nominations will be accepted from the floor at the Annual General Meeting only for positions for which no valid written nomination has been received.

Thanks

Important Information about the Montessori Unit at Corelli School

March 29th, 2010 by Sacha Belcourt No comments »

Important Information about the Montessori Unit at Corelli School

I regret to advise that the North Shore Montessori Primary school will cease to operate at the end of the current school term.

Established by the North Shore Montessori Development Trust in 2001, the Montessori unit at Long Bay School closed at the end of 2008.  A group of dedicated parents took up the challenge to continue the unit in 2009, and a temporary home at the Corelli School of the Arts in Browns Bay was found at very short notice. A new teacher was recruited for Term II 2009 and an authentic Montessori primary environment was created.

Unfortunately, difficult economic conditions have impacted on the school’s ability to attract and retain students. Concerns about the short term financial viability of the school have left the Trustees with no option but to close the unit at the end of Term I 2010.

We are currently taking steps to ensure the welfare of our students and protect the Trust’s Montessori materials and other assets.

Despite the closure of the school, the Trust will continue to promote and support primary Montessori education on the North Shore. A group of committed parents is looking at options to continue Montessori primary education on the North Shore.

On behalf of the Trustees, I would like to extend our thanks to all members of the wider Montessori community who have supported the school through the difficult time over the last eighteen months.

Yours sincerely

Brian Westbrooke

President

North Shore Montessori Primary Development Trust
