Ko Remutaka te maunga e ru nea toko ngakau
Ko te Awakairangi te awa e mahia nei e maharahara
No Kotiranga oku tupuna
Ko Campbell clan toko hapu
Ko Murdoch toko whānau
No reira, tena koutou, tena koutou, tena tatou katoa
It is both an honor and a privilege to begin my principalship at Heretaunga College and to be part of this great school community.
Secondary school is an exciting place for young people to develop their potential, pathways and talents and Heretaunga College is an excellent place for these aspects of secondary school life.
The school provides a wide range of dynamic experiences in a caring environment so young people can learn and grow.
I look forward to meeting you this term in some capacity.
