Community Emergency Hub – Readiness Drill
A sincere thank you to the students, teachers, and community members who attended our recent Tauranga City Council Community Emergency Hub meeting on 11 May, even on Mother’s Day!
These hubs play a vital role in preparing our local community for times of need. If you live within a 10-minute walk of the school, we encourage you to join our next session: a practical emergency response drill on Sunday 25 May, from 2:00pm to 4:00pm, held at our school’s Performing Arts Centre.
Your presence truly makes a difference.
