Burnside Primary School
Our church, The Village, helps out a bit at Burnside with reading assistance and donations of food, clothing and bedding. What we observe is a fantastic school community with dedicated hard-working staff who are deeply involved in education and community well-being. Their level of care of families is extraordinary! Some of us were invited to Assembly today to help present books for all the children. It was magical. The haka, the waiata, the video and the vibe were amazing. What a treat! We wish the children and especially the staff happy, safe, and restful holidays. If anyone would like to join in our practical support of the school give us a yell 351-6664.
