The Honorable Dr Megan Woods opened Upland Sensory Playground on Friday 16 June 2023. It was a joyous student led event.
Ian Crosbie made a speech, our Upland Kapa Haka Group performed a haka for all our visitors and in their cooking classes the students made plenty of cheese rolls, pizza and sausage rolls for afternoon tea.
