Playground Consultation

Please could all Year 5-8 children and their parents try to attend the Community Consultation with the Auckland Council regarding the Snells Beach Playground.

2. To understand what options of playground design the council is now proposing for the public to vote on

3. To influence the voting so the preferences and research of our class makes a difference to options decided by the Council

Where: Betty Paxton Room, Mahurangi East Hall, 21 Hamatana Road, Snells Beach

Mufti Day Fundraising

‘Immerse – Fostering Hope’ would like to thank the children of Mahurangi Christian School for organising the mufti day fundraiser for us.  The $77 raised will go towards our ‘Unpacking Fostering’ Information Evenings held in local communities to inspire & recruit quality homes for our nation’s most vulnerable children.  We receive no money at all for the work we do so your donation is greatly appreciated. – Ursula Elisara
