Come to the Gala!

To provide that little extra for the school funds, what better than a gala?

Given a fine, sunny day, parents, teachers, and children gather in the school grounds to enjoy the pleasure of parting with their cash the easy way.

These pictures taken at Te Hapara School are typical of gala functions all round the district.
