Nukutere College – Rarotonga – Cook Islands.

On October 22nd 2013 fire destroyed 5 out of the 6 classrooms at Nukutere Coolege in Rarotonga. These classrooms have since been rebuilt at great cost to the local community. The fire occurred prior to students sitting their NCEA exams.

The school was formally administered by the Christian Brothers. Brother Norman Gillies being a former Principal.

For the past year students at St Thomas’ have thrown coins into a bucket on their way into Assembly.

A total of $1600 has been donated by the student body and this will be presented to the Nukutere College Principal Mr George Rassmussen during the July holiday break by Marty Taylor.
