Abel Tasman Beach

This week we heard the fantastic news that the crowd funding campaign had been successful in buying Awaroa Inlet in Abel Tasman. The class were excited to have taken part in such a great process.

We were surprised to have then been contacted by the local paper Manawatu Standard to have an interview with the class in light of this success. The paper came out and interviewed some of the students and myself, the results of this were then posted on the Stuff website.

Later in the day we had another visit. This time from the team at Seven Sharp. They filmed the students and myself again and played our clips on national television that night. We have received lots of great feedback from families, the community and further afield.

The response to our donation has been very surprising, but it has been a great experience for the class and they have wholly understood the point that their actions do have results, whether expected or not.
