Leavers' Dinner 2023

Mrs L Piebenga —

A final chance to celebrate and farewell both our leaving students and whanaus.

Following Prize Giving, our school leavers and their whanau gathered at the Glenroy to enjoy an evening together to conclude the Columba Journey. This was a wonderful occasion to celebrate each of our leavers' for one final time.

Each student crossed the stage for one final time and received a farewell flower and testimonial that Ms Riethmaier had spent many hours diligently preparing.

The very talented mother/daughter duo of Catherine and Elloise Cameron played and sang beautifully, captivating the audience.

We were treated to a very entertaining address from Mr Sparrow who shared his fears and triumphs in embracing a challenge. We all very much enjoyed his entertaining and inspiring address.

Thank you to all the students, parents, staff, and Board members who joined us for the evening. It was a wonderful opportunity to connect in an informal setting and enjoy a last opportunity to be together as a group.

We wish all students all the very best in their next life chapter and thank you for all that you have done in your years at Columba.
