2020 Water tightness project
This year we have been working towards a water tightness project to repair a large section of internal guttering, replacing split/cracked parts, down pipes and small sections of fascia. There are sections of the roof that need repair but the original iron roof is still going strong! We believe the iron cladding made its way to NZ onboard a ship from the UK over 100 years ago!

Our heritage listed cottage provides a beautiful, character filled environment for learning. Like all buildings of this age it needs constant maintenance and attention which is mainly undertaken by the parent body during quarterly working bees. Larger maintenance and repairs projects need the professionals and need focused fundraising and support.

We are now working very hard to try and raise funds through donations, grants and fundraising activity to meet our goal of $30,000.

Having successfully secured a $10,000 grant from the Wellington City Council's Built Heritage Fund (woohoo!) we now need your help to raise the remaining amount.

Our goal of undertaking the work ahead of winter has been delayed due to Covid-19, and has also meant a $10,000k drop in revenue (we were unable to secure the wage subsidy, but kept paying all our teachers).

Please consider donating via our givealittle page, every little bit helps, no donation is too small!

From the teaching team and local whanau we thank you for your support! <3
