School mourns the man who made things happenSupplied David Mallard's memory will live on with the Fence of Friendship . A memorial site and plaque for relief groundsman and handyman David Mallard will be unveiled at Taupo Primary School this week to show the love and appreciation of staff and students. "David was a keen gardener and had many virtues noted by all employed at Taupo Primary." Mallard went out of his way to help the English Language School students [for whom English is their second language]. Before starting at Taupo Primary school, Mallard was known in Taupo, within the hospitality industry, and was the manager of The Lake Hotel in the 70's which was the first Cob 'n' Co.
