Exciting News for Our Kura!

We are beyond grateful to announce that our kura has been gifted an AED (Automated External Defibrillator) thanks to the incredible generosity of Emma and Rebecca from Embracing Hearts!

A huge shoutout to Rachel and the team at Wellington Free Ambulance, who have provided lockbox so the AED is accessible to our whole community, as well as covering the ongoing costs to keep it maintained. This is an incredible gift that could help save lives!

Special thanks to Jax and his mum, Melissa, who have been amazing advocates in helping us secure this AED for our school and community. Your mahi is truly appreciated!

Let’s continue looking out for one another.
