Mr Wemyss' Farewell





The whole of Mapua school joined together to farewell our wonderful one and only principal Mr Wemyss. It was a wonderful day,the sun was shining and who could of ask for a better day to farewell our principal?

We had two presenters, Shaen and Jessica from Room Five and the person who controlled the sound system, Nic, was from Room Five as well.

The assembly involved two people from each class contributing something to Mr Wemyss. Things that we contributed were: Cards, Models of his office and we can't forget the special green, covered with lots of colorful paper, hat that was given to him from Rooms 1 and 8, and to funk up the assembly he even wore the hat for the whole time - how cool is that?

But it was not only us who contributed to Mr Wemyss it was the teachers as well. They contributed glasses and a bunch of flowers. Of course losing a brilliant principal wasn't that great so the whole school got ready to sing a couple of songs to him as a present to show him how much we loved having him as our principal.

The one year and one term that we had him as our principal may not sound like a lot of time but it was enough for the whole school and teachers to bond with him and laugh with him. It was a great opportunity having having Mr Wemyss and hopefully he will come and visit us sometime....
