What a wonderful morning in Matamata. John Paul College, families, teachers, principals from state and Catholic schools in Rotorua and other Diocesan towns, retired principals and Diocesan staff gathered to gift Whare Clarke to St Joseph’s, Matamata- Matua Whare is their new tumuaki. We processed in to bagpipes and drums playing Scotland the Brave. (Matua Whare’s daughter Daniella and friends). The children of Matamata sang beautifully- congratulations Mr Brian Belczacki for preparing them so well. God bless you all.
