I have many fond memories of Sister Mary Frances, and of St Paul's School in Ngaruawahia.
On the 8th of August 1988 our second daughter was born and with Sister's delight we named her Mary-Frances. Which was Sister's name in religion at that time. May she Rest in Peace

Thank you Sister Frances for the wonderful years as my teacher and Principle at St Paul's School in Ngaruawahia. The "Up North" school bus trip is a precious memory and I will treasure this always. Other memories are of the donation tally under each Saints name in the corner of each classrooms blackboard, Jazzersize and projector movies in the school hall. Fond memories of playing the guitar for school singing practice. May you rest in peace and God welcome you with the warmest of embraces. My condolences to family on your loss. Sister was an amazing lady. Xo

A beautiful lady whom dedicated her life to teaching children. She was a very special teacher and principle to whom many of us all had the privilege to have been taught by. I will always cherish my "Up North" school trip and seeing the mission collections written up in the corner of each classroom blackboard.
Thank you Sister for all the great childhood memories, steadfast values and morals you installed in us and for the finest education. Rest in Peace Sister Francis, may God wrap you in his arms. You will be missed xo
