Week 9: PPMET meeting
PPMET Trustees are committed to ensuring a Montessori education of the highest quality. They represent the interests of both current and future families of the unit and take a broad responsibility for all Trust activities through collective decision making. Trustees are co-opted on a skills basis from the Montessori at Berhampore parent community. Roles are served for a three-year term and advertised as vacancies become available.
Parents are invited to approach the Trust if they want to contribute and have skills applicable to the Trust’s functions. The Trust meets regularly throughout the school year – normally twice per term or as needs arise. If you wish to attend a PPMET meeting, please email your interest to montessori@berhampore.school.nz
The Trust welcomes feedback from the Montessori community and encourages parents to come forward with suggestions, queries or concerns. Please note that PPMET is not a governance body – Berhampore Board of Trustees assumes this role for the whole school, which includes the Montessori classrooms. An elected member of PPMET represents the interests of Montessori at Berhampore on the Berhampore Board of Trustees. Details of PPMET’s status are available online on the Charities Commission website http://charities.govt.nz. If you have any questions about the Berhampore Board of Trustees, please let us know.

Celebration of Cultures: Thanksgiving Day Dinner. TBC
Organised by Tui 2 Senior Montessori students. Time to be confirmed
Parent Discussion: Learning & Development in Montessori Education
Maria Montessori wrote in one of her parent information letters
“Let your child keep their secret.”
The point being made is that children know what they need to do
and have a plan to follow. As educators, we believe that the only person
who knows the path to optimal development is the child itself.
We look forward to seeing you.
