Kia ora Koutou, It is with deep sadness that I announce the passing of Mrs Chandani Jinadasa. Chandani was a respected member of our teaching staff for 4 years where she taught physics. She was an integral part of our science team and highly valued by her students. The ever smiling face of Chandani will be remembered fondly by all students and staff. Her personal wisdom, teaching expertise and her gentle soul were a huge asset to the school and will be sorely missed for a very long time. We will always remember Chandani and on behalf of our staff and students, our heartfelt condolences and thoughts go out to Chandani’s family at this time. I also wanted to take the time to mention we held a Memorial Assembly for Chandani on Tuesday 8 in the auditorium for all students and staff. Our students were absolutely amazing in their respect for the assembly and in their participation. A selection of staff and students also attended Chandani’s funeral in Hamilton. Again, our students were incredibly dignified and performed a Haka which was extremely passionate and moving. Thank you to our great Senior Leadership Team for organizing everything so well and with great consideration.
