Schools get involved in 50th celebrations

An adopt a school concept has been welcomed by south group school principals during their workshop through the week. The workshop included a presentation from Thomas Wynne regarding the schools involvement in the Vaka arrivals for the 50th celebration and a presentation from CITC’s general manager Gaye Whitta and key brands manager George George regarding CITC’s 50th celebration ‘Adopt a School’ initiative. The Adopt a School initiative will see CITC and ten of its key suppliers provide assistance to 10 primary schools on Rarotonga through supplying materials and resources to enable each school to build a float for the Constitution Parade. The building of the floats will be incorporated into each school’s curriculum this year and with the help of the teams from CITC it is expected that the floats will be as good, if not better than some of the spectacular floats of yesteryear that have been talked about for many years. Not only will the teams from CITC be assisting with the construction of the float but each team will work with the schools to provide assistance towards a school project such as fresh water stations, library books, sporting materials etc. The Ministry of Education is grateful for the continuing support that CITC provides for education in Rarotonga and the schools are looking forward to the exciting challenge.
