Our Progress

Here's where we're at!

🏊 Relining & Heating the School Pool
✅ In progress
We are so lucky to have a school pool for our tamariki to use, and despite the hot Wairarapa days, the pool can still be extremely cold. To extend the swimming period and ensure it's accessible and comfortable for all of our tamariki, we are working hard towards relining the pool and installing a heat pump water heating system.
