Communications Report End of Year 2021
Hello everyone and welcome to the last Communications Report for the year. And what a year it has been!
Our Auckland technicians especially, you deserve a huge pat on the back for what have been challenging and unprecedented times.
I’d like to remind you of your Executive Committee for 2021-2023
President – Arwen Heyworth – Onehunga High School, Auckland
Past President – Communications – Monique Arts – John Paul College, Rotorua
Secretary – Janice Deverick – Alfriston College, Auckland
Treasurer – Jane Lieshout – St Patrick’s College, Wellington
Health and Safety – Sarah Garner – Kamo High School, Whangarei
Advocacy – Ian de Stigter (Mt Grammar, Auckland) and Sheryl Fitzsimmons (Nelson College For Girls)
Newsletter Editor and Web site Manager – Jasmine Harrison – St Andrew’s College, Christchurch.
A very warm welcome to the new members of the Executive. They add to an already strong and focussed team whose combined skills and specialities will serve us well as we head into 2022 with all its upcoming challenges.
As you know, the new Safety and Science Document has been published in an on line version only.
I encourage you to please take the time to read this and leave any feedback on the google sheet.
Links to both documents are below.
STANZ will endeavour to ensure that any concerns will be acted upon.

I also would like to take this opportunity to thank David Cook for his continuing support to Technicians after his retirement. He remained on scitech talk after his retirement as he offered to monitor Accumulated Wisdom for us until a replacement had been found. Although this has not happened as yet, he felt that it was definitely time to move on and he has decided to remove himself from the forum. Thank you, David, for all your wisdom, support and advice over many years. Time to properly retire.
So it just remains for me, on behalf of your Executive Committee to wish you all the best for Christmas and the New Year. Sit back, relax and enjoy the holidays doing what you love doing and we look forward to a fresh and reinvigorated start to 2022.
Meri Kirihimete ki te katoa
