Friday 18 January 2019
 
It is with great sadness that we share the news of our recently retired principal Alan Forgie’s passing. Alan suffered a brain haemorrhage on Wednesday. He was flown to Auckland Hospital and operated on but never regained consciousness. He passed away in the early hours of this morning.
 
Our school marae, Whakarongorua, will be open from 9.00am – 12.00pm on Monday 21 January for people come in, share memories and be together at this sad time.
 
At this stage, the funeral will be held at the Okaihau College hall on either Tuesday or Wednesday. Details about the funeral will be posted when we have them.
 
Our thoughts and deepest condolences are with Alan’s family at this difficult time.
