Thanks so much to long time Wairakei staff member Cathy Dean, for once again stepping in to support our school.

During term 3 while Whaea Jenny has been away taking leave, Cathy Dean stepped in to ensure that the children saw a familiar face, and the Otakaro team had an experienced teacher who knows our school, our families and most important, our children.

Thanks so much Cathy, for being a valued staff member. We will be seeing you around in your relieving capacity again.

Our kids love you.
