President Sandra Leonard explained that the dictionaries are gifted as
part of Rotary’s ‘Dictionaries in Schools’ Project and the students at
Whangaruru School were specially selected to be part of the programme. Also at
the presentation were Assistant District Governor Peter Smith who fielded
questions from the class about Rotary, and Claire Furlong, fellow Rotarian and the schools Project
Manager.
The presentation ended with thanks from pupil Dylan Wrathall-Epiha and the
song: “The Court of King Caractacus” performed by all the senior students and accompanied
by Principal Julie Thelwell on guitar.
The next event organised by the Whangarei City Club is Bike Glenbervie
13 on 31st March, part of Whangarei’s Endless Summer Festival. As Peter explained
to the Whangaruru pupils; ‘ Rotary is just a group of ordinary people doing
extra-ordinary things’.
