Ngā Pūmanawa e Waru provides an opportunity to future proof the education of all Rotorua learners and will make an essential contribution to make Rotorua a great place to learn. A place where people will want to come because they have heard of the quality of the learning that takes place within the district kura and schools.

ANZAC 100 years Commemoration

5/16/2015

 

Remembering ANZAC DAY is very important for New Zealand and Australia. Mrs Ellen Collie and Jenny Brell combined their talents to set up the rememberance wall in the school foyer. Mrs Shirley Lane provided her father's WW11 uniform and photos. She also made poppies out of wool. Each school in NZ were provided with a resource box containing white crosses of soldiers from their community killed in WW1.
