Thieves strike Henderson Valley School in west Auckland
Thieves have dampened the spirits of staff and students at Henderson Valley School.
They have allegedly swiped the brand new sun shade sheltering the junior sand pit in west Auckland.
The tarpaulin was installed in December but vanished last week.
A large navy blue canvas, it was chained securely at each corner to four tall metal poles.
It would have taken at least two people to carry the heavy canopy.
The students start back at school on February 9.

Poll: Are Kiwis allergic to “exuberance”? 🥝
In The Post’s opinion piece on the developments set to open across Aotearoa in 2026, John Coop suggests that, as a nation, we’re “allergic to exuberance.”
We want to know: Are we really allergic to showing our excitement?
Is it time to lean into a more optimistic view of the place we call home? As big projects take shape and new opportunities emerge, perhaps it’s worth asking whether a little more confidence (and enthusiasm!) could do us some good.
