Executive principal Dale Burden, pictured, and deputy principal Yevette Williams, his wife, are not around at St Peter s School, but the reason remains unclear (file photo).
The principal and his deputy principal wife are absent from an exclusive private school in Cambridge, but management remains tight-lipped as to why. St Peter’s School was “unable to provide any comment at this stage”, when
Stuff asked about executive principal Dale Burden and deputy principal Yevette Williams, a communications firm working for the school said.
Stuff understands the senior school leaders – a married couple – have not been back at work at the private Year 7-to-13 school since the recent holiday break.

Barring jackets from classrooms at Mount Albert Grammar School has drawn some flak from parents. (File photo) “According to my daughter most of the older rooms are cold – a new TV is bought but not heating.” The woollen school jumper is uncomfortable and itchy to wear, she said. Kelly-Hunt said the uniform was so expensive she had to buy it secondhand. “Why are they charging that amount for a uniform and our kids have got to take that jacket off and be cold in the classroom, and they’re not going to learn anything?” Fellow parent Emily Hall said her 15-year-old son does not wear a jacket to school because of the rule.

A new, in-school-based model of educating secondary school teachers has been warmly embraced by the first inductees, with some even describing the initiative as pivotal to their decision to pursue further qualifications and thereby help alleviate the country’s severe teacher shortage.
Developed through the close collaboration of the University of Waikato and both independent and state schools, the innovative model commenced at the start of 2021. It entails student teachers being fully-immersed within schools throughout the year, during which the schools pay their fees, provide mentoring and endeavour to offer post-qualification employment.
Engaged in the programme by Diocesan School for Girls, Lachlan Craig describes the initiative as a “deal breaker” to progressing further in the profession.

Born in 2004, Brunt – a prefect at Mount Albert Grammar School – is the youngest of the lot, having just turned 17. That means she wasn’t yet alive the last time the Blues men won Super Rugby – or Super 12, as it was known back then – in May 2003. But if that makes you feel old, don’t worry, because assistant coach Anna Richards is in the same boat. “They love telling me that they weren t born when I last played, so I m not too happy about that,” she joked on Thursday, when asked about her team’s teenagers.
