    Sir Peter Leitch Club AT MT SMART STADIUM, HOME OF THE MIGHTY VODAFONE WARRIORS 5th September 2018 Newsletter #233 Congratulations to the Vodafone Warriors on making the 2018 NRL Finals Congratulations Simon on playing your 300th game for the Vodafone Warriors we hope you enjoyed the night as we all did. Photos courtesy of www.photosport.nz Bloody, Penrith, Dragons and Broncos...give me a break By David Kemeys Former Sunday Star-Times Editor, Former Editor-in-Chief Suburban Newspapers, Long Suffering Warriors Fan HIS IS why I am not an NRL tipster. TLast week I boldly opined that to get a home game we would need to beat the Raiders – which happened – and have results go our way – which didn’t. The Storm did not beat the Panthers and blew the Minor Premiership, buggering everything. The Roosters, as predicted, were way too good for the Eels and snatched the Minor Premiership. Souths ended their slump by beating a Tigers side that barely looked interested to finish third. The Sharks at least made me look semi-competent, beating the Dogs to go fourth. The Panthers, as mentioned, pulled off an upset no-one saw coming, and that left them in fifth. The Broncos crushed Manly and rose to sixth, only failing to edge the Panthers – having finished on the same points and differential – because they had more points conceded. The Dragons beat Newcastle yet dropped to seventh. All of which saw us, despite our win over Canberra, at an almost disappointing eighth. Being there is the only thing, and our last finals experience in 2011 took us all the way to the final from the same spot, so why not again? It’s doubtful even if I wish I could say differently, but I cannot see it happening.

  • Day 1 Speaker Cvs/Resumes
    Day 1 Speaker CVs/Resumes Nikolai P. Vitti, Ed.D. Dr. Nikolai P. Vitti is Superintendent of Duval County Public Schools (DCPS) in Jacksonville, Florida. As the nation’s 20th largest school district, he serves nearly 130,000 students within 200 schools through a $1.7 billion dollar budget. Since his arrival in mid-2012, the school district has reached a historic high in graduation and college readiness rates through the expansion of accelerated programming and early warning systems. DCPS has also surpassed all Florida urban districts in African-American graduation rates while ranking among the first to fourth highest performing urban districts throughout the nation on the National Assessment for Education Progress (NAEP) in the vast majority of assessment categories. The district has been recognized for its expansion of the arts, foreign languages, innovative school programming, school choice options, mental health and progressive discipline strategies, school level leadership development, instructional material selection, and financial transparency and efficiency. Dr. Vitti also successfully secured over $40 million dollars in local philanthropy to transform the district’s historically lowest performing schools with a focus on human capital and technology infusion. Over the last four years, the superintendent has been named Florida Superintendent of the Year for the Arts, Music, and Communications. A summary of accomplishments include: Academic Improvement: Despite a new set of national standards and assessments, the district has achieved a district grade of “B” for two consecutive years for the first time since 2010. 75% of schools are “As-Cs” and 70% of state assessment areas demonstrated improvement and outpaced statewide improvement.
