  • Fond farewell to Gateway student

    Posted on December 18th, 2009 Pieter No comments

    This week we said goodbye to our Dunedin Gateway student from
    Bayfield High School, Max Buxton, who worked with Nursery staff and
    volunteers on Wednesdays during 2009. We are happy to know that Max is
    heading to Lincoln University in 2010 to further his studies. Max has been a
    very positive and lively participant at the Nursery and well liked by all.
    We will miss him and wish him well for the future.
