Answer 1

Farewell Speech

Good morning everyone present here. Esteemed Chairman, respected Director, teachers, and my dear students. Today is a very emotional day. We all have gathered here to bid adieu to our senior most class that is going to appear for their final board examination after a few days.

I am feeling both sad and elated on the occasion; sad because, these students have been studying in this school since their Kindergarten. Their long association will be missed by all of us. However, I am happy also for their future. They are going to appear for their most crucial examination after which they will step into the real world. They will start carving their own careers. I am sure the values, ethics, character, and the academic and other basic skills they have learnt at our school will really help them in shaping their bright careers. I am hopeful they will bring glory and laurels to the school with their achievements. They are the brand ambassadors of our school.

I on behalf of the school management, teachers and the students wish them all the best for the rest of their life. May God bless you with success, health, and prosperity! The school has organized a get together for you, do enjoy it and have fun!

 There is a saying pinned on the wall of the Tikipunga High School workroom that reads: "Everyone you meet is fighting a battle you know nothing about. Be Kind. Always."

The words were placed there by outgoing principal Peter Garelja, recently retired after nearly seven years at the helm.

He has been quietly fighting his own battle with Parkinson's disease and has earned widespread community respect for his courage, his kindness and his ability to transfer power to Maori.

Tikipunga kuia and teacher Ngawai Anaru sums up the community response: "The community love him to bits. He has that quality of kindness and he listens."

An emotional farewell, organised by Komiti Maori to coincide with the Maori Achievement Awards, revealed the extent of gratitude felt by the local Maori community.

Representatives from the school community - Whanaunga Aotearoa, Pehiaweri marae and the well-known kapa haka group Hatea - met to celebrate student achievement and to pay tribute to Peter. A whole evening was devoted to feasting, speech making and performance, and Peter and his wife Raewyn were presented respectively with a waka huia (especially carved box) and greenstone pendant earrings.
