Will have a bunch of new news for the Website soon. Yours truly attended the truly magnificent School production of Les Miserables last Saturday. It follows the lives and interactions of several French characters over a twenty-year period in the early 19th century, starting in 1815. Luckily it was performed in English so I could understand it.  More to come soon.

We have had another Council Meeting – and a truly great meeting it was – so a full report on that will be on the Site soon. The meeting was held at Junior School and Principal Peter Voss attended along with Donald MacLean, so it was a memorable evening – and the food was great too!

The Country Reunion is approaching fast – slated for the weekend of August 13 in Mt Maunganui – so all of you Country folk need to be making plans NOW and letting us know that you will be attending.

We are developing some cool new features for the Website – truly great features. So, yes more on that soon as well.

The School Basketball team has had a truly splendid start to the season – beating some of the best in Premier Grade. So, will endeavour to get full details and photos on that.

The DOBA Council is having it’s yearly meet with the Trust Board on May 31st (the day after my birthday), so we are looking forward to that, one and all, and expect it to be a truly wonderful meeting of minds. This Council has a great thing going on …

There will be a major newsletter (post and email) sent out in the first week of June, so you can all look forward to that. It will included many great things, including a recent interview of Rev Warren Watson – so a truly magnificent newsletter it will be.

So, what is going on with the usage of the word “Truly” in this brief post? Well Dilworth is a Truly Great School and as an Association we are so impressed with how the boys at the School grow with the opportunities they are given – very much in evidence when you look at their skills in the arts and sports, not to mention academically. So, yes, yours truly - as one involved with the School a bit these days -  does feel truly honoured to be involved.
