Hornby students volunteer their services in the UCan Programme

Last week, 19 Year 10 students got stuck in with a volunteering project at Victoria Park on the Port Hills as part of their UC Student Volunteer Army (SVA) UCan programme to assist the Christchurch City Council.

The students from Darfield High, Unlimited Discovery, Papanui High, Middleton Grange, Hornby High and Cashmere High were helping to free young plants along a hillside to ensure their continued growth. The students had plenty of fun working alongside SVA executive members who have been mentoring them as part of the UCan programme, which encourages local secondary students to become leaders in their communities through volunteering.
