Mayors go back to school for the day

Temora Mayor Rick Firman returns to his old school to welcome the newest intake.

The mayors from shires in South Western New South Wales went back to school for a day last month.

The visit was part of a longstanding initiative of the Riverina Eastern Regional Organisation of Councils (REROC) according to group Chairman and Temora Mayor Rick Firman.

“All Mayors were asked to deliver what we call ‘Kindy Kits’ to all Kindergarten students across the REROC footprint,” he said.

“It has pencils, colouring books, etc, etc.

“I went to where I was at school – Temora Public School.

“It was great fun and is a terrific, longstanding initiative of REROCs.”

The group includes mayors and general managers from Bland, Coolamon, Junee, Greater Hume, Cootamundra-Gundagai, Lockhart and Temora Shires as well as Goldenfields Water County Council.
