Local Litter Clean Up

In the spirit of Conservation Week, Kea Syndicate spent Thursday afternoon cleaning up the litter that has been building up around the school. We focused on Rawhiti Road and Wairaka Road, the Zigzag and the track to the shop. And what a success it was.  We collected bags and bags of rubbish from chippie packets and cans, to tyres and glass bricks. Thank you for your wonderful effort Kea Syndicate. The local environment will appreciate it too. 

It was a great reminder to put your rubbish in the bin!

Wha and the Nude Food Challenge!

Don't forget to pack only nude food tomorrow!
