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.

Many New Zealand gardens aren’t seeing as many monarch butterflies fluttering around their swan plants and flower beds these days — the hungry Asian paper wasp has been taking its toll.
