Fleur Wiliams and Reece Melville are currently our oldest students here at Papamoa College as they both turned 21 this year. Fleur had a lockdown birthday on 1 April and Reece had his birthday on 21 October. Fleur is a foundation student and Reece started at Papamoa College a year later. 

We had a surprise morning tea in Learning Support to celebrate their extra special birthdays. Mr Lindsey came along for some cake too. Fleur and Reece thanked their teachers and teacher aides for all of the support over the years which has helped them both to gain NCEA Level 2. 

Next year, Fleur is exploring work options in early childcare and Reece is off to Toi Ohomai to study Education Support. We are so proud of their achievements, hard work and determination to succeed. We will miss them, but we also wish them all the best for the future.
