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 .

Kia ora,
HERO Learning reports: These will be posted on Wednesday. They will give you an indication on your child’s learning so far this year. Please make sure you have access to the Hero app to view these, if not please let me know.
Sausage Sizzle: This is the last week. Spare forms are available at the office. Please order by today.
End of term: This week I have noticed that many children have been feeling especially tired. While this has been building over time, it has been more noticeable this week. When we are tired, it can be harder to be patient and kind with others. Our school focus this week is patience, and we have been talking about what patience looks like, sounds like, and feels like. We have also had lots of discussions and reminders about showing kindness towards others, and keeping our hands to ourselves. We are nearly there, we can do it!
I hope you all have a relaxing holiday break and are able to spend some time with your families.
Ngā mihi,
Amy
