Shade and Smiles at Kio Kio School

Kio Kio School tamariki can now enjoy more time learning and playing outdoors when summer comes around. The school received $3,042.07 from the Ōtorohanga District Council’s Community Fund to help purchase new shade sails, providing much needed sun protection for students during outdoor activities.

Staff and students alike are thrilled with the upgrade. “We’re incredibly grateful for the Council’s support,” the school shared. “This funding has helped us create a safer, more comfortable environment for our tamariki.”

It’s a great example of how small investments can make a big difference in the daily lives of our district’s youngest residents.
