RROGA PRINCIPAL'S NOTE
A note from the Principal
Tēnā tātou katoa. Koutou kua ikapahi mai, tēnā koutou. Nau mai ki tēnei hui.
Principal Dr Sandra Hastie, shares her AGM report with us. For the full report including all the school’s success, please follow the below link or find a copy on the Rangi website Alumnae Page. FULL REPORT The Senior Leaders came up with the theme “Flourish” and this proved to resonate strongly with our girls. They encouraged each of them to try something new - “plant a seed” - and then commit to it and see it through to completion - the idea being that, like a plant coping with the setbacks but still being able to reflect back and acknowledge the growth, they too will be able to look back, acknowledge their growth and celebrate.
