This week we farewelled our Principal Dr Potaka who is retiring. He has been at our school for 18.5 years. Yesterday we had a special assembly to farewell him. At the assembly the school choir sung our school song and a the beautiful waiata Harerui. The school choir also sung the song 'Special' by Six60 with some lyrics changed especially for Dr Potaka.
We also presented Dr Potaka with a special korawai (Traditional Maori cloak) and a bone carving carved by famous artist Brian Flintoff.
Dr Potaka presented the school with a special piece of artwork.
