Cheekee Run With A Difference

Jasmine Soa from Cheekee Hero Charity

Ōrākei School holds a beautifully diverse community filled with many hidden gems. Cheekee Hero Charity wants to celebrate them and this coming Friday 11th of November, we are doing just that.

Ōrākei School is raising awareness of inclusion by celebrating all kids' superpowers with their annual Cheekee Run.

Tamariki will come kitted out in their superhero costumes or gold and run, walk, wheel the way they want around a fun, colourful inclusive course filled with supporters, music and balloons.

At the end of the course will be a dance party where everyone can participate, have a really good boogie and raise each other up.

This year Cheekee Hero Charity has also added to the mix the Cheekee Hero Art Project, which will be judged, with 3 winners having their work featured in the upcoming Cheekee Hero, Cheekee Tales storybook series.

This event promises to be filled with so much joy and celebration for all children. There'll be spot prizes stickers certificates and more.

If you'd like to contact Cheekee Hero Charity or find out more about our Cheekee Tales please DM us or email jasmine.soa@cheekeehero.com

Most importantly a huge mihi to the year 8 students, Aja and Kahlani for this amazing masterpiece - superheroes come in all shapes, sizes, and abilities with attitude to boot!

A plane flying from Christchurch to Wellington on Sunday had smoke billowing out of the engine and upon landing, passengers had to open the emergency exit and jump out. Have you had any scary flying experiences?
