It is said that a tree is as strong as its roots.

With 115 years of combined service at Arbor Primary School, Kathy Ezendan, principal Patrick Arentsen and Adele Wright have laid the foundation for hundreds of learners’ educational journey.

The years’ final evaluation records captured and report cards signed, these teachers are locking their classrooms and office for the last time as they prepare to start the new year as retirees.

Their passports ready, they will jet across the world to build new memories with their children and grandchildren.
