Board Announcement - Principal Appointment

Tēnā koutou katoa,

As many of you know, the Linton Camp School Board has been going through the process of recruiting a new Principal following the announcement of Geoff Franks’ retirement.

We are very pleased to announce the appointment of Matt Costley as our new Principal to commence at the beginning of Term 2, on Wednesday 26th April.

Matt Costley is an inspiring educator who is focused on giving tamariki rich, engaging learning experiences and helping them grow both academically and as well-rounded young people. Born and bred in Palmerston North, Matt brings with him over 25 years’ experience of working with young people, both here in Aotearoa, and in several countries around the world. Matt is married to Kate and they have four children aged 10-17. He has taught at several different schools in our rohe, and has most recently been Principal at Kopane School in rural Manawatū.

We know you will join us in warmly welcoming Matt to our community. He is incredibly excited to be Linton Camp School’s next principal and is looking forward to meeting all of our tamariki and whānau.

For the remainder of Term 1, we will show our appreciation for Geoff’s many years of service to our community and celebrate his time as Principal of Linton Camp School.

Nāku noa, nā

Letitia Morris

Presiding Member

Linton Camp School Board
