The Maungawhau School learners submerged a time capsule capturing 2020 inside a concrete pipe.

Sealed for 25 years will be a teddy bear to mark the area's highly touted teddy bear hunt during Auckland's lockdown.

Students have also concealed a face mask, a QR code for the school, newsletters, class photos, along with diary entries about 2020 and homeschooling.

The treasures will be dug up and delved into during the school's 100th annual fair.
