Welcome to Chloe our new Teacher-Aide.

Have you noticed the beautiful bright sunflowers?The students in Totara planted the seeds last year. It is part of a programme called 'Project Sunshine'. We were donated the seeds which were grown by Epuni School. I wonder how many seeds we will harvest this year?
