Tauranga Business Development Manager Shelley Coley recently attended the New Zealand Catholic Primary Principals’ Association (NZCPPA) conference, held at Saint Thomas More School just up the road from her Mount Maunganui office.
It was the first time the Tauranga team had attended the event, and it proved to be a great opportunity to connect with principals from Catholic schools across the country.
The CrestClean booth was set up with goodie bags and Rockit Apples, giving delegates a chance to stop by, have a chat, and take something away with them.


Shelley valued the opportunity to hear firsthand what’s happening in schools, along with the challenges and priorities principals across the Catholic school network are currently navigating. There was strong interest in RecycleKiwi and the Cleanest Classroom programme, and how these CrestClean initiatives have helped to reinforce good habits among their students.
In true CrestClean style, Shelley also ran a prize draw for a generous hamper, which went to Nicole Higby from St Peter’s Catholic School.
Shelley enjoyed hearing positive feedback from principals about the service they’re receiving from their CrestClean cleaning teams, particularly at St Mary’s Catholic School, Taupō. Shelley noted that the ongoing support and relationship with the school is clearly valued and appreciated.
