Today on the second anniversary of Roderick's passing, Mrs Shears and Mrs Jamieson gathered along with family and friends at his 'place' within the school grounds for a time of remembrance.
In 2009 a tree was planted at a special ceremony and the Year 6 children will recall this occasion as the Cultural Group performed a haka and memories were shared.
This year the plaque has been set in its place and the tree is thriving. Roderick's Dad thanked the school for allowing the family to gather to reminisce about all the wonderful times everyone had shared with him. Although we all shed a few tears we could also smile about Roderick's love of speed, fun and life in general.
