I wanted to write a quick note to thank Rāroa, our awesome community, our kaimahi (staff) and of course the fabulous tamariki from over the years I have been here.

I have loved my time at Rāroa and feel very lucky to have worked in such an amazing kura for more than 13 years. The kura will always hold a very special place in my manawa. 

Our tamariki are so very lucky to have the incredible kaiako they have. We have a very special community and I have received so many lovely emails from our school whānau that I appreciate very much. 

I will certainly miss the life of an intermediate as well as the pre adolescent aged students which is such a unique time of learning and development.

Thank you to all the students and whānau that I have had the privilege of working with during my time here. I hope my own children are lucky enough to attend an Intermediate as wonderful as Rāroa.
