GENEROSITY OF SPIRIT Head of Community and Global Connections • Tania Morgan gives an overview of the generosity of spirit that our Rangi community showed in the past year. As in previous years, we continued to have special relationships with a number of organisations • such as Ronald McDonald House, City Mission, YMCA, Cholmondeley Childrens’ Home, World Vision, Christchurch City Council, Christchurch Hospital and Nurse Maude Hospital. In addition, we supported many worthy local charities including KidsCan, Aviva, St John, The Cancer Society, Pillars and the SPCA. The highlights of 2019 include: 32 students volunteered on March
