I am delighted to present myself as your Principal and Tumuaki of Ashburton Borough School, including the Lagmhor site.
I started here at the beginning of 2025 and have taken my time to get to know parents, students and staff and to reacquaint myself with the community. I began my teaching career here at Ashburton Borough in the late 80’s so much of the environment feels familiar and comfortable to me.
A lot has changed in that time and I am excited to be part of a very diverse and inclusive community. Students at Ashburton Borough are accepted for who they are and yet are encouraged to be the best they can be by living our school values: Be Brave, Be Strong, Be Borough.
I am impressed by the dedication and commitment of staff to provide learning experiences that excite and challenge students but also how they strive to build respectful positive relationships with them and their whānau.
We are a family/whānau based school, where we care and look after each other. My big dream is to make Ashburton Borough School, including our Lagmhor site, the best place to be.
I look forward to sharing our special place with you. Please feel free to contact me or ask any questions at principal@ashborough.school.nz .

Reminder school photos are tomorrow. Make sure you are in the correct uniform tomorrow, tidied up and ready to smile!!
Sibling photos are first thing in the performance centre, so great if they arrive a little early to get those done!

Final reminder for athletics day tomorrow.
Children are to be brought directly to the Domain Oval by 9:00 a.m.
Students may wear their house colour T-shirt (please no tutus or dress-ups).
Please ensure your child brings a drink bottle, packed lunch, closed-toe shoes, and a sun hat.
If you have any questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
Kia ora,
If your child gets the bus to and from school they will be getting off at the college and Ms McDonald and Mrs Lewis (Jo) will be meeting them there and walking them across to the oval. In the afternoon at 2:50 they will walk them back over to the college.
I have caught up with all the kids that are on the bus this afternoon.
Thanks
Ella
