At the beginning of the year we received a very generous donation from Andy Haslip of $1000 to go towards purchasing new books for the Library. I was able to purchase books to fill  gaps in some of our well loved series and increased our collection of nonfiction and picture books. These were very well received by the students and Teachers. Thank you so much Andy for this donation.

James and Scott won $200 through their athletics Club at the start of the year that had to be given to Wairakei Primary School. This was subsequently given to the school Library. I discussed with the boys what sort of books they would like us to purchase and they requested books on snakes, dinosaurs, fish and vehicles.  A huge thank you for this donation

After many varied types of employment I found that my passion was children, so what a great place to work.

My involvement began 30 years ago when our daughter started as a new entrant, now her daughter is due to start very soon.

After a variety of roles, I am currently working in classes assisting Teachers and Students.

When students achieve something that they have been trying to do it’s exciting that I can share the delight and sense of accomplishment with them.

Attempting to get students involved in a book and the story is one of my passions. Listening to how much they enjoyed reading is rewarding.  Reading helps develop their imagination.
