Great progress in Kauri

The framing is going up and the colours are all chosen. It's looking pretty awesome for the new and improved Kauri Block.

Whanau Fun

Great seeing our new whanau leaders getting their groups sorted for the Aotea picnic on Thursday. Here is Kereru.

Rimu 3 do handwriting

Rimu 3 did their handwriting out on the court today. I was impressed to see the careful formation they were using. After they worked on the court they came inside and practised in their books. Great job Rimu 3.

You can see right through Kauri!

Kauri demolition is well advanced as you can see.

Teachers learning about Maths

Kauri will never be the same!

This is the last time Kauri will look like this. Construction starts on Tuesday.
