I would like to give a shout out to Dave Appleyard, who has retired after 25 years at Rata St School. He has been the principal since 2002 and in the years since has built a strong reputation both for himself and for the school.

I got to know Dave well during my time with the Hutt News. He was always approachable and extremely helpful. More importantly, there was never any doubt that he always had the best interests of his students at heart. Last year Appleyard won the education category in the Wellingtonian of the Year Awards for his focus on students with special needs.
I wish him all the best. Nicholas Boyack
