On 15 December, Ss Peter and Paul Primary School in Lower Hutt farewell Kay Tester as she retires after more than 40 years of devoted service to Catholic education.
Kay’s leadership has been a beacon of faith and commitment. As a Principal, she embraced the role of servant leader, guided by the Holy Spirit and was dedicated to the growth and well-being of every student and staff member. Her vision transformed schools into communities where learning and Faith flourish side-by-side.
Through her tireless efforts, Kay has shaped generations and strengthened the mission of Catholic education, leaving an enduring legacy of love, Faith, and excellence.
As she enters retirement, we pray her days are filled with peace and joy, knowing her impact will be felt for years to come.
Thank you, Kay, for your extraordinary service—you will be deeply missed.
