Jubilee publication workshop – the first – 1PM tomorrow, Monday the 31st of May 2010, at Karapiro School. We will be looking at what we want to achieve and setting some goals. We do have at hand a considerable amount of material – but we are looking for more.
If you have some time on your hands and know the names in this photo – or some of them – how about using the form below (click on the article heading to make the reply area appear) Left to right, back row first.. (in this case I think do we have the names recorded – but a hand with typing them up would be greatly appreciated) ..

Snippets from the Karapiro School Office,
Principal comes to office with a very subdued pupil asking me to contact Mother as he Had broken his watch and put the battery in his ear and couldn’t get it out.
Not being able to contact the Mother I took him in to town to see his Dr.
When the nurse came in with the equipment to flush the ear out he went a wonderful colour of white and Dr made a comment that if it didn’t flush out he might have to operate on him. After flushing and the battery firmly still in his ear the Dr got a pair of tweezers and by great good luck was able to pull the battery out. He asked the pupil if he wanted it back and a very loud “No” was the answer.
On the way back to school I asked him if he would be smashing any more watches to bits and he managed to whisper “No”. Quite a lesson learnt I thought.
The day the school nearly went up in flames.
I arrived at school in the morning ready to meet a new principal on his first day at the school. I looked in the infants room and couldn’t see anything for smoke. As I walked towards the Senior Room there was the new Principal also choking with smoke.
It appears he decided to be a good Principal and light the Pot Belly Stoves and make the rooms nice and warm for the Staff when they arrived but didn’t know that Starlings built nests in the chimneys each summer so they had caught fire and with a lot of luck we were able to let the fires die down and wait for a chimney cleaner to clear out the chimneys. Not a good day for a new Principal.
