 Work began on the refurbishment of the hall at Whangaparaoa Primary last month.

Fundraising for the project is now at the stage where community donations are needed –the school is reaching out to local businesses, families and individuals to make up the shortfall required to complete the first phase of the refurbishment, the exterior.

Of the $780,000 required, $650,000 has been raised so far. Despite still needing a further $130,000 to complete phase 1, there is enough money to get started and make full use of the school holiday period.

Pictured supporting the contractors are Whangaparaoa School pupils, from left, Rylee Bacor, Eúan Lightfoot, Summer Hughes, Blake Richardson and Archie Kember.
