After the sad loss of Natasha to another life overseas, we again encountered Cathy, this time in the role of teacher, during the extensive interviews that took place over the school holidays. Her instant rapport with the community and its philosophies plus the obvious benefits such experience could bring to the school has facilitated very smooth transition for the children and staff.

They were greeted by beautifully decorated tables in patriotic colours of yellow and green, hot cups of tea and coffee, homemade cakes and scones with cream and jam, and a smiling welcome from the dedicated teachers. Then it was the turn of the grandparents, replete with the cakes made that morning.

Return to Top of Page Geoff and the Tamarind Tree A tree planting ceremony was recently held at Pine Community School thanks to the generosity of Geoff Wilson , state member for Ferny Grove and patron of Friends of Pine . Earlier this year, Geoff, who has had a long association with Pine, offered to fully subsidise a scholastic or sporting award for the small community school. A tamarind tree was selected and a thoroughly enjoyable morning was spent in the company of Geoff by parents, teachers and pupils which included much conversation, a short speech and morning tea baked by the children. Members of Friends of Pine, an organisation set up to support and encourage the continuing friendship and involvement of past, present and non-school members, assisted Geoff with the planting and from all reports the tree is doing just fine.
