Whaea Jill’s Farewell:

Another big thank you to those who joined us last night for Whaea Jill’s farewell. It was a lovely opportunity to sneakily acknowledge Jill and the contribution she has made to Reporoa School over the last 30 years!

Jill has seen a great deal of change in the school, including changes in buildings, Principals, curriculum, assessment, and has made lifelong memories for countless children and in some cases their parents, who have also had the privilege of being taught by her. Jill has decided that it is time to retire from her full time teaching position, and is heading home to Cambridge to pursue all of those things that teaching has not allowed time for. I would like to publicly thank Jill in this forum for the part she played in contributing her knowledge, expertise, and aroha for the Reporoa students and community. I have come to have a huge respect for the wealth of knowledge and skill that Jill has bought to Reporoa Primary in my meagre nearly 4 years at the school.

Thank you:

to Rotorua Lakes Council who have kindly donated 30 vests to our school, it is very much appreciated.

Well done to Room 6 for Fundraising for Charity:

(Nate, JP, Brian and Felix) raised $13.50 for 2000 Kauri Trust.
