Rotary recognition for service

 

Maungaturoto and Districts Rotary Club has presented Haydn Hutching with a Paul Harris Fellow at their change of officers meeting on June 24.

Presented in recognition of outstanding commitment to the club and or the community, Haydn has been recognised for his contribution to education, sport and community service.

Principal at Otamatea High School from 1995 to 2013, Haydn was heavily involved in secondary school sports, and held the position of Northland representative on the New Zealand Secondary Schools’ Sports Council.

His love of music initiated popular Otamatea High School talent contest Olla Podriga.

President of Maungaturoto and Districts Rotary 2000-2001, his affinity with youth meant that Rotary projects within the club involving youth were always important to him.

Haydn now works in an advisory capacity for the Ministry of Education and has shifted north to live in Hokianga.

The recognition is named after Rotary founder Paul Percy Harris who founded the movement in 1905.
