Monday 29th November saw a select group of Wairakei children take to the stage to receive their Terrific Kid award.

Each year a local service club, Kiwanis Club of North West Christchurch, generously approach Wairakei so that they can acknowledge children who quietly have a positive attitude, good character and are responsible citizens. Here at Wairakei School it’s a difficult job narrowing down the list - but it’s a job we love doing.

This year's winners received their certificate and prize from Ian and Marg. The winners were Avah-Jean, Coco, Rajon, Arianna, Isabella, Siua, Bryce, Amelia, Elijah, Matt and Isaiah. Also receiving a prize were Mark and Jett.
