Today we are treated to a vocational visit to Murrays Bay Intermediate School here in North Auckland in the East Coast Bays area. We are greeted by Principal Colin Dale who proudly showed us through the school. Colin is an inspirational academic and has a style of leadership that sets him apart from the mainstream. His vision in essence is to create an environment where students can excel in their chosen areas and he ensures that the education they receive is relevant to the type of career paths that students need to survive in todays work place. We were very impressed at the positive attitudes of teachers and students alike. We were all very impressed.
Later we were taken to Takapuna for lunch then off to visit the historical areas of Devenport, North Head and Mt Victoria. On the way back to our hosts we dropped in at Lake Pupuke where a large fresh water lake has recently been stocked with trout.
Then we all put on our very best attire and went to the Rotary Club of East Coast Bays where President Carol Caulfield greeted us. We undertook our presentation and its was very well received with a large number of questions at the end.
Back to our hosts for a good nights sleep as we have an early start tomorrow.
