Thank you

Karyn Gray —

Thank you for being part of the Raphael House whānau in 2021.

Another challenging year full of surprises and continual changes, requiring resilience and adaptations all round. Congratulations to everyone for making it through. Thank you for sharing your tamariki with us and supporting our efforts in so many ways.

To those families who end their association with us this year, we hope you go with love and good memories and the knowledge you will always be part of the family here. I know there are family ending more than two decades of having children attend the school this year and we thank you all for your contributions - be they over many many years or a shorter time period.

Thanks also to those staff we are fare welling today. Some who again have been with us many many years, and others for shorter time periods. Thank you all for the contribution towards developing the young people of this community. May our love and best wishes stay with you as you transition into the next part of your personal journey.

Enjoy a safe and happy break in your families.

We will see those of you who are returning next year on our first day - Thursday February 3.

There will be a whole school Mihi Whakatau for new staff and students on Friday February 4. We will be in touch in January with further details.
