PLANTING: Some of the volunteers who helped to plant more than 3000 native plants into a
new reserve opposite Redcliffs Park at the weekend. ​
Native planting in Redcliffs
VOLUNTEERS planted almost
3500 native plants in a new
reserve opposite Redcliffs Park
at the weekend.
Scott Babington, chairman
of the Coastal Pathway Group,
said about 100 people helped out
over the two days.
“It was a fantastic effort,
especially considering the
cold and windy conditions on
Sunday.”
The reserve at the end of
the causeway was a gravel
parking lot previously and,
more recently, was used by
the construction company
responsible for the Beachville
Esplanade Wall and Coastal
Pathway construction.
Plants for the reserve
were donated by the Pacific
Development Trust, while the
Mainland Foundation helped to
supply and spread the soil and
the Lion Foundation helped
to obtain and place the
boulders.
Pupils give kapa haka debut
Parents, teachers and pupils were treated to a kapa haka
performance at the Governors Bay community hall recently.
Both the Diamond Harbour and the Governors Bay school
kapa haka groups performed at the event, which was run
for the first time. It was an outstanding performance and the
Diamond Harbour School kapa haka group is looking forward
to more opportunities to perform in the future. There are 50
pupils from years 4-8 in the kapa haka group which is led by
teacher Matua Maaka Tau.
Heathcote’s wearable art
OVER THE last few weeks at
Heathcote Valley School, year 5-6
pupils have been creating masks
and year 7-8s have been creating
wearable art costumes.
Thirteen pupils modelled
wearable art costumes last week
at Horncastle Arena as part of the
Christchurch Primary School’s
Cultural Festival.
Acting principal Fay Le Cren
said they were “absolutely
stunning.”
A special assembly was held at
the school on Friday to showcase
the costumes.
Liz Haddock and Mel Sutton
were thanked for their work
organising and supporting the
pupils.
