Trees for Survival

On Wednesday, July 29th, another group of awesome Whenuapai students walked next door to plant native plants at the Air Force Base. This year we worked hard to plant a couple hundred Manuka, Kanuka, and other NZ natives around the new Youth Development Unit (YDU) on Base. We enjoyed a sausage sizzle and some marching lessons from the great staff there before they marched us back up the hill to school. Thank you to Gail from Trees for Survival and Mrs. Cornish for leading this again.

We have grown and planted 920 plants this year!

Junior Playground Opening – 27th May 2020

There was great cause for celebration recently when the new playground was officially opened. Despite the rain, the children, teachers and special guests enjoyed the opening ceremony which included a blessing given by Kuia Awa, a performance by the school’s Kapa Haka group as well as speeches by Ivan Millan from the Board of Trustees, and Raewyn, our Principal. Although the children loved watching the construction of the playground take place, it was with great joy that they were finally able to have a play on their new playground.

Money for the playground was raised over the last 12 months through various events run by the school’s PTA, a Give-A-Little Page, through personal donations by the community and by the Waitakere Licensing Trust for their very generous Million Dollar Trust grant. Thank you to all who gave towards this wonderful playground, it will be enjoyed for many, many years to come!
