Brook Robinson and Shaniya Prasad, you have been such strong pillars in our Whaiao Whare, and I speak for everyone here when I say that we are grateful for your hard work and dedication to this role.

Brook, you have brought such confidence, organization and reliability to your role as Manukura and have stepped up in being an amazing role model for all our rangatahi. Shaniya, you are such a gentle and warm spirit that through your softly spokeness, you have been so passionate about being inclusive of cultures, religions and beliefs. Your incredible involvement in helping organize events has ensured that all students have felt included, valued and respected. 

Whaiao are truly going to miss your enthusiasm, energy and positivity as you leave Pūtaringamotu for the big wide world!!
