NAU MAI, HAERE MAI - WELCOME TO ABS BOROUGH & ABS LAGMHOR

 

Be Brave, Be Strong, Be Borough

 Tena koutou, Talofa Lava, Mālō e lelei, Mālō ni, Kia Orana, Kumusta, Salam, Namaste, Halo, Namaskāra, Āyubōwan, Helo, Xin chào and Greetings to you all.


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 .
