Porirua College students and Deputy Principal

Rhondda Sweetman from Plimmerton Rotary

We were scheduled to hear from two Porirua College students who had attended this year’s RYPEN at Inglewood, and then from College Principal Ragne Maxwell.

Ragne was indisposed, so Deputy Principal John Topp, assisted by Phil Skipworth, the college’s community liaison officer, took her place.

Tulia Solomona and Pualaga Tua’aufa’li spoke about their RYPEN experience in glowing terms. They had been pushed beyond their normal limits, taken unfamiliar risks, and made new friends. They had thought more about their futures, and with greater confidence. Tulia wants to study medicine and Pualanga has ambitions to be an engineer.
