Recently, our team volunteered at Auckland Girls Grammar School (AGGS) to provide support with exam supervision.
This support frees up over 50 hours of teacher time at a critical period in the year when there is a big marking workload for NCEA. Many thanks to our team members for volunteering for this great initiative: Graham Hendry, Harley Pope, Wayne Dyer, Frankie Crellin, Keiko Murakami, Heather Robinson, Jan Malcolm, Des Trigg, Craig Sionetuato, Hilary Prior, Karen Spires, Keith Robinson, Rob Wills and Celia Fullerton-Smith.
A special thanks to Suzanne O'Leary for a big effort in co-ordinating the team and working with AGGS to tee this up.
Below is some great feedback received today from Deputy Principal Fiona Lamberton:
"From our perspective, you all did an amazing job. I had numerous comments from both staff and students on your great efforts. In fact several students asked whether you were the real supervisors from the end of year as you did it so well.
Thank you very much for giving up your time and supporting us. It is very much appreciated by us all. The teachers who had morning tea with you, would also like to pass on how much they enjoyed that opportunity to talk to you as well."
On Saturday evening, we had our Guess Who's Coming to Dinner event.
Members and their friends and partners were hosted by fellow club members for a great evening of food, fellowship and fun. Many thanks to Fellowship Directors Kat Trevor and Gareth Juddery for organising this great event.
Below is a snapshat of the dinner hosted by Dr Bill and Ruth, one of the many dinners taking place across the club Saturday evening.
On Friday evening, one of our newest club member's, Weilian Du, presented on Run for Freedom & Project Starfish, Rotary projects she is fundraising for which seek to help the plight of children in Southeast Asia who are caught in the crossroads of trafficking and abuse.
The function, hosted at KPMG, was attended by her friends and other club members including Lucy Chang-Lorenzi, Des Trigg, James Hook, Susanne Loesser and Phil Caughey, and was also an opportunity to celebrate her graduation from university. In due course Weilian will be sharing more on this at the club - great work Weilian.
The Young Enterprise Scheme ('YES') team from Auckland Girls Grammar joined us at breakfast to talk about their business.
The team presented their colouring/mindfulness book exploring the beauty of the Maori Culture, which they also sold to club members on the morning. The team were Moana Cook, Mahaki Tipene, Bree Loloa, Halayna Ona-Murphy and Chloe Teariti Mana.
On Tuesday morning, we were privileged to have Chloe Marshall and Bex Baddeley, Fire Risk Management Officers for the Auckland City Area join us for breakfast.
The team shared with us common domestic fire hazards, tips to reduce these risks, and what to do in the event of a fire. Great to hear from the team, thanks Chloe and Bex, very much appreciated.
