In our Principal Matters newsletter last term, the CAA and Security Service had a 3-D printer on offer. Many schools applied for the printer so in fairness to all, the names of the schools were put in a hat and the CAA CEO drew the lucky school’s name.
Congratulations to Kelvin Woodley, principal of Tapawera Area School, who is now the proud owner of the 3-D printer.
Our thanks to CAA and the Aviation Security Service for donating these valuable items to our schools.
