Many of you will have notices our caretaker Pete, racing around the grounds at weekends on our new ride on lawnmower, we were lucky enough to secure some funding from the Mainland foundation to purchase this, Nelmac will still mow the large field but this smaller mower is excellent for tidying up the junior field, athletics track and the front of the kura grounds. We have also been successful in gaining funding from for twenty new chromebooks and are just in the process of installing four large commercial sun umbrellas around the kura that the Rata Foundation have gifted to us.
