Kia ora!

Recently the new and previous executive members met for a handover and we had a fantastic session.  We thought it would be a good idea to give you a bit of a heads up about some of the important things NAME is working on.  
​
  1. Survey.  In order to best represent you we need to know what you think and what you need.  So early Term 3 we will ask all media teachers in NZ to complete a comprehensive survey which will help us plan the direction for NAME including the next three years of PD. 
  2. Election.  Fancy being joining an amazing committee? We are holding an election for two key positions: treasurer (don’t let the title put you off – its not just about the numbers!)  and Regional Co-ordinator. More details about the election process and the descriptions of the roles are here on the NAME website. Click here to make a nomination or to learn more about the roles.
  3. PD.  In what might be one of the most exciting developments in NAME history, we have been granted money by the MOE over three years to develop a sustainable model of PD support for Media Studies teachers across the country.  This could include resource development; building connectivity, and regional support.  You can see further information here. 
  4. Did you know that NAME now has a Facebook page?  Check it out and follow! Note - This isn’t in competition with the already existing NZ Media teachers Facebook group.  Rather its an official page for NAME which we can use to communicate subject association matters to you and give NAME a voice. Click here to head to our Facebook page.   
  5. We are still in the early planning stages but… Conference 2019 is coming!  Auckland in the July Holidays will be the place to be for invigorating PD, networking and general media excitement.  The Auckland NAME committee are pretty excited about it too!  Put it in your calendars (and budget requests) now.   
  6. Constitution. One of the important goals of the new NAME execution is to make our subject association sustainable so having a clear constitution to help provide guidance and structure to our subject association.  Over the next few months the executive will be working on the existing draft constitution, talking to other subject associations and seeking feedback from you as members.  The goal is to have the constitution ready to ratify at the conference in July next year (so you really won’t want to miss conference!!)  
  7. NCEA review. we will be looking at putting forward a submission for this.   

Finally I would like to take this opportunity to thank you to the outgoing members of the committee: Jane Hall and Peter Courtney, for the hard work and significant contributions they have made in their roles on the committee. To those new and continuing members of the executive: thank you for your enthusiasm and willingness to be a part of this.  You rock! 

Nga mihi,
Louise
