Kahutara School Pet Day

Dec 2011

Checking out their science exhibits with teacher Mrs Taplin are (from left) Caleb Hawthorn- Gough-Thomason, Jeremy Thurston, Cooper Jamieson, Luke Cremen and Jordan Thurston.

Kahutara School couldn’t have asked for better weather for their Pet Day which attracted at least 80 pet entries. The hall exhibits were down slightly on last year but there were still some fantastic things in there – and the special fresh flower smell!! A big thank you to all the parents and caregivers who supported the children to make and create.
