Ruth Arikawe

The Balaklava High School community were saddened to hear of the recent passing of Ruth Arikawe. Ruth was the Agriculture teacher here from the late 1970s until 2006. She was known for being an honest and straightforward teacher and many past students remember her for her kindness and genuine concern for their well-being. As a female teacher in a field that was definitely dominated by men in her early years of teaching, Ruth was an excellent role model as she just got on with whatever jobs needed doing and was very capable in all the practical areas of farming. She will be sadly missed and fondly remembered.
