Thanks to support from our Head Student, Hazel Johnston.

During Term 2/3, our head student, Hazel Johnston, gave her time and support to the Temuka/Geraldine Rotary Club's Peace Pole fundraiser.

This is a quote featured in the Courier/Rotary Facebook page recently from the President of the Temuka/Geraldine Rotary, Viki McKenzie.

A huge thank you to everyone who joined us and made it such a success. Special shout-out to our amazing team:

• Valentina (Head Girl Geraldine High School) and Hazel (Head Girl Opihi College) for their combined commitment and passion for this project; using their marketing, advertising, co-ordination skills and support with raffle sales.

We are proud of Hazel for showing the CARE values of Community and Excellence by working with the Rotary members and Valentina to help see the peace poles planted in both Geraldine and Temuka. Mahi nui Hazel!
