School history immersed for 25 years: Mt Eden
Students from a Mt Eden primary school have buried their history for the next generation to unravel.
The Maungawhau School learners submerged a time capsule capturing 2020 inside a concrete pipe.
Sealed for 25 years will be a teddy bear to mark the area's highly touted teddy bear hunt during Auckland's lockdown.
Students have also concealed a face mask, a QR code for the school, newsletters, class photos, along with diary entries about 2020 and homeschooling.
The treasures will be dug up and delved into during the school's 100th annual fair.

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)
