Room 31 came up with a special Pay It Forward this year which is wanting to help the Paws Restart Animal Rescue. 

This is where Ms Head adopted her puppy Kai, so it is close to their hearts. Paws Restart Restart Animal Rescue is in desperate need of supplies for the puppies who come into their rescue with nothing. 

The furniture below is available free to a good home. Please text Shane, our Caretaker, on 0211929809  if you want to arrange collection.

Ex-student Sophie features in the production of 'The Little Mermaid'. 

Thank you for your continued support of our World Vision collections. Khin Htar (our previous sponsored child) has moved out of the community, and we now have a new child we sponsor, Mosalin, along with Djeneba Goro. So far this year, we have raised a total of $478. We collect spare coins every Friday; even 10 cents helps!

Thanks,

Lauren

A modern classic of Aotearoa 

We are thrilled to bring Witi Ihimaera’s classic story, The Whale Rider, back to the stage in a children’s theatre show unmatched. This beautifully rich story of whānau and Tikanga is masterfully translated into a live performance that will absorb the viewer from start to end. A poignant tale of forging paths and self-belief, this is the show all children need to see.

Destined to become a leader of her tribe, no matter how hard she tries to show her worth, Kahu’s koro (grandfather) won’t accept that a kōtiro (girl) can take over his role of chief. But a rescue of the ancient whale beached in the Whāngārā Harbour changes things.
