Kura School Prize Giving

Rhondda Sweetman from Plimmerton Rotary

On Tuesday evening, Wendy represented the Rotary Club of Plimmerton at the Titahi Bay Primary School (often called Kura School) Prizegiving. After some singing, dancing, a formal welcome from Principal Kerry Delaney, and tear-jerking speeches from each of the teachers, certificates were presented to all the Year 6 leavers and it was astonishing to note that there were over seventy of them. Three of the leavers gave excellent short speeches and these were followed by a photo montage of the year's events accompanied by the song, 'The Time of our Lives'. Students at Kura School are taught the KURA values - they are Kind, they work together in Unity, they are Respectful, and they aspire to Achieve. These values were evident in many little ways during the course of the evening.
