I have just now read of Coralie's passing. My sincere condolences to Rob and the family. It was thanks to Coralie that I began a wonderful career in teaching, as she employed me for the Second Language Learning Project at Opunake High School and contributing primary schools. She was kind, inspirational and a fabulous mentor. Rest in peace, Coralie.
