Mr Bainbridge – 20 Years of Service

This morning the staff held a special surprise morning tea for Mr Bainbridge, to celebrate his 20 years of service. Speeches were had and Mr Bainbridge was presented with a certificate and a gift basket.

When Mr Bainbridge arrived in 1989 Matipo was down to 150 students, the campus was in poor condition and the school was earmarked for closure. It is because of his efforts that we have come so far today.
