My fondest memory was in 1996 when the new prefects were presented to the school on a Friday. Our principal then, Mr.
Ngatiari, went ahead and asked them to ‘start with fire’. The following day during Saturday quad, all the new
prefects with the out-going prefects behind them and no teacher in sight, asked all form two students to remain behind
after roll call. The next three hours I can only describe as 'hell' what we were put through. I remember this new
prefect from Tana House who came to where I was kneeling, and after shouting something incomprehensible, asked me to
swim on the grass. I must say it was the best breaststroke I have ever done!! Remembering this and the atmosphere
that was there in the quad always brings a very big smile in my face.
Another memory I will always keep with me is during my first two weeks in the school a 3rd form monitor made me scrub a
tree clean using one of those wooden scrubbers and a bucket of warm soapy water. It may sound like bullying, but I must
say all those experiences I had (by the way, none were violent) taught me to be patient and how to persevere. Times have
changed and such stunts would be harshly looked upon now, but back in those days it was a way of life and our seniors
used to tell us that we were having it easy!
I am currently doing my masters degree in the UK and hope to be back home soon.
