    We are grateful to the Lindisfarne College Council, staff, students and parents for planning and coordinating the event, and in particular we extend our special thanks to the Conference Steering Committee who have worked extremely hard to ensure the success of the 2009 conference. Left to right Back Row: Campbell Howlett, Rob Jackson, Rob Hay, Ian Findlay, Darren Brown Front Row: Glen Petersen, Anne Averill, Murray Richardson, Grant Lander, Kay Jackson, Matt Allen, Suzette Mayes. Absent: Roger Anderson, Reimana Johnson, Mason Summerfield, Rod Dowling. Dear Friends The boys’ schools of New Zealand, and in particular Lindisfarne College, take great pleasure in welcoming you to this the Sixteenth Annual Conference of the International Boys’ Schools Coalition. We have put together an exciting programme on the theme of ‘Windows into Manhood’, which brings together the ‘Best Practice’ in working with boys from New Zealand and indeed, the rest of the world. A great group of keynote speakers and workshop presenters will give us an opportunity of celebrating the best of boys. In allowing New Zealand and the province of Hawke’s Bay to host this conference, the Trustees of the IBSC have allowed delegates an opportunity of sampling the delights of one of the world’s most beautiful countries. Although not a big country, New Zealand is a nation with a huge variety of scenery. We are proud of our ‘clean and green’ image, our rainforest and native bushlands, our thermal attractions, our pristine hill country and mountain ranges. What we lack in night life we more than make up for in adventure tourism and outdoor pursuits.
