Smiles all round

It was smiles all round when the senior pupils at Whangaruru Primary School were each presented with a beautifully illustrated dictionary from the Rotary Club of Whangarei City.

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’.
