Opaki School fundraiser at one of Garden Hour gardens...
A special fundraising stall to help Opaki School work towards its goal of becoming a
Silver Level Enviro School will be held during the Wairarapa Garden Tour this weekend.
The school will be selling freshly baked sweet and savory treats along with tea and coffee at Tarata Garden in Masterton on both Saturday and Sunday.
Opaki School Principal Dave Finlayson says money raised from the stall will go towards new solar panels that the school is installing to reduce its electricity bill. In addition, a selection of small metal bird sculptures will be for sale on the day with proceeds from these going to Pūkaha National Wildlife Centre as a Koha.
Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
