Dear Parents/Caregivers
FROM THE PRINCIPAL
These 4 aspiring young women accompanied by the
Year 13 Dean Ms Howard, were selected to attend
the International Women’s’ Day Lunch held at the
Millennium Hotel and hosted by the
Rotorua Zonta, Quota, and Soroptimists Clubs. The
inspiring guest speaker was Gina Rangi, who was
recently appointed to the position Group Manager
- Maori for Rotorua Lakes Council.
The girls gained a lot from Gina’s talk and were
inspired by her story. The time Gina took to chat to
our students was appreciated and their one on one
(left to right) Harper Akurangi-Fitzell, Kairangi question time invaluable. Our students had a great
Cox, Gina Rangi, Maria Trass, Brenna Douglas day - thank you to Rotorua Zonta and Soroptimist
Club.
