Three principals from Singapore are in Tauranga and have been seeing how Otumoetai College works.
Vice principal of Monfort Secondary School Mark Minjoot, Greendale Secondary School principal Ryan Henstock and Maris Stella High School principal Joseph Lim spent the day at OTC on Tuesday.
Ryan Scott, William Wee (vice principal of Montfort Secondary School), Mark Minjoot (Greendale Secondary School principal), Ryan Henstock, Neal Redward, Joseph Lim (Maris Stella High School principal), Katie Wood and Holly Boyle at Otumoetai College on Tuesday.
Publicity officer Erin Armstrong says they were interested in secondary literacy and the work OTC does in lifting performance at this level.
'They looked at the resourcing and how we integrate the literacy support with the general running of the school along with strategies that have proven effective at this age and stage of student development.”
The international visit follows on from Chilean students who are being hosted by the college as part of an international exchange programme.

Must have plenty of money

The schools these principals come from must have plenty of money if they can be sent to Tauranga from Singapore. Let's hope that our primary and secondary school principals don't think this is justification to use education budgets to go on junkets themselves.
