Rotary Club of Auckland East determined that the existing 15-year-old driver training vehicle used by Tamaki College was well past its use by date so did something about.
Tamaki College is a decile 1 co-educational school in Auckland’s eastern suburbs.  The college has adopted the goal of assisting its students to obtain driving licences while at the school.  By this means, it aims to assist the students to be career ready when they leave the college.
 
Rotary Club of Auckland East determined that the existing 15-year-old driver training vehicle used by the school was well past its use by date.  We commenced a programme to raise funds to replace the car with a newer model, achieving $10,000 by means of donations from individuals, businesses and charitable trusts, as well as a Give a Little Page.
In the event, the school was able to raise a further $9,000 from a local trust which enabled the purchase of a brand-new Suzuki Swift arranged by Rotary Club of Auckland East.
The car was formally handed over on the 10th of December.  The pictures show Club President Bevan Iles with School Principal Soana Pamaka.
