Waitākiri Community Swimming Pool
Waitākiri School is launching our fundraising campaign for our new 25 metre community swimming pool. The pool is designed, engineered, and fully consented. Now, we need your help to raise the funds to make the dream of a community pool and cost-effective swimming lessons come true.
Our current 10 metre canvas pool we purchased after the earthquakes is at the end of its life and will cost $42,000 to replace. Two years ago we investigated building an in ground 25 metre pool and the quote came back at $900,000. Unfortunately costs have ballooned in the two years since then and are now very close to 2 million dollars.
Please donate if you can, we have a link on our school website www.waitakiri.school.nz... with information. Please tell as many people as possible about our new pool, please like and share our Waitākiri Community Swimming Pool facebook page. This is going to take one mighty effort and when we are done the rewards will be outstanding.
Come along to our exciting Learning Celebration tomorrow where we will be holding the launch of our new Swimming Pool!
We hope to start the build next winter.

What's one highway or road that needs attention?
We've all been on a summer roadie and experienced first-hand the state of our roads.
If you've ever been stuck in a summer traffic jam, had near-misses on dangerous turns or feared for your life on clifftops (while the car behind you is tail-gating!) - you may have an opinion on this one.
Tell us what main road or highway you think needs some serious attention across the country, and why!
