We conducted a brief karakia and waiata Wednesday morning at 9am to re-open the renovated classrooms.
We are proud to have retained the bones of this whare that travelled up to the school site in 1958. It is rewarding to have been able to breath new life into this very special building.

The original building was cut into two pieces and transported up from Te Tii village during 1958 for a 1959 opening. During the renovation this year, when the building interior cladding was stripped back, most of the original timber framing was in such good condition we were able to reuse it. |
