Sandringham Kids Heritage Project
Join us online at the Sandringham Kids Heritage Project and keep the kids busy this October by learning about their local natural, cultural and built heritage.
With lots of different FREE activities to download there is something for everyone. Want to learn how to tell a bungalow from a villa? Discover an ancient lava rock forest in the centre of Auckland? Or read about the amazing animal that helped build the trig platform on Mt Eden? You will find all that here and more.
Be sure to follow SPiCE (Sandringham Project in Community Empowerment) on our Facebook Page for pop-up competitions and daily challenges for the rest of the school holidays -

Tapu (Sacredness) and Noa (Balance) - Day 18
The Sacred Spring of Waiora
A sacred spring hidden in the forest was said to have healing powers but was tapu (restricted) to those with ill intent. One day, a chief's child fell ill, and the community approached the spring with prayers and offerings, guided by a tohunga (spiritual leader). Through their humility and respect for the tapu, the child was healed. The spring remained sacred, but the balance of noa (everyday access) allowed it to serve as a source of hope for the people.
Moral: Respect for sacredness maintains balance and harmony between the spiritual and physical worlds.
