Attendance at the Parents’ Association Annual General Meeting on 9 March 2010 reflected the pattern which, sadly, has become too well established over recent years.  Almost everybody present found themselves elected to the Committee!   We are pleased to confirm the Parents’ Association Committee for 2010 as:

President                               Beith Atkinson

Vice President                      Sue Mahon

Secretary                               Caroline McGlynn Tran

Treasurer                              Rachel Wilkinson (replacing Richard Grant)

Member                                 Deb Jensen

Member                                 David Wanty

The inaugural Father/Son Breakfast is confirmed for 7.30am on Friday 28 May.  Planning is well underway for what we hope will be an annual event open to the entire school – the only limitation being the number the Brierley Theatre can accommodate, so please do keep an eye out for updates which will make their way to you via notices brought home by your sons, updates on the school website, and via email to the address you may have supplied to either the Parents’ Association or College Mothers.   If you would find it useful to receive email updates please email us at  ParentsAssoc@wellington-college.school.nz which is the new permanent Parents’ Association email address.

Our first official Committee meeting of the year will be on Tuesday 11 May in the Cricket Pavilion.  In the meanwhile, if you would like any information about the Association or wish to add an item to the agenda for our next meeting please contract Beith Atkinson at  johnnie@paradise.net.nz ; Sue Mahon at bxciting@gmail.com; or Caroline McGlynn Tran at tcaroline_tran@yahoo.com  Please note that Sue and Caroline’s email addresses defer from advertised in the March/April edition of The Collegian.
