The Mataura River Art Project
Last Kaumātua Health Day we went out to Mandeville Gallery to look at the Mataura River Art Project. Community arts worker, Janet de Wagt, worked with 21 primary schools (more than 1800 school children in total) to create a special art exhibition that celebrates the Mataura River in all its forms.
The students and teachers have worked with a large variety of materials. The displays were amazing to see and a lot of hard work that went into each piece of artwork.

Rōpū Tamariki
For our last Rōpū Tamariki we went to Dolamore Park for the day. We had around 40 kids in attendance and we had an Easter theme. Krystal put on an Easter egg hunt for the kids and the jungle gym and flying fox were a hit with all the tamariki. They all enjoyed a barbeque for lunch.
If you are in the Gore area and have any tamariki who would enjoying coming along please call the office for more details.
