School Vandalism!

Hi all

Unfortunately again one of the schools I care for has been targeted by drunk people with apparently nothing better to do.

Either late last night or in the early hours of thismorning Hampton Hill School in Tawa had 4 Large classroom windows smashed.
1 of the windows was broken from a thrown white vase, bong or glass alcohol bottle (see photos below). I can't make out exactly what it is as it had no labels but the neck is an interesting shape.

On all four windows the force of the blow shattered glass across the entire room and all through classroom furniture.

The cost of these windows will likely be over $1000 so can't be ignored. this has happened several times this year and can't go on.
Beer and rtd cans were found on site which have been taken by Police for finger printing.

Please if anyone has any information or noticed something strange around Tawa last night contact myself or the police.
These things usually happen in the school holidays which makes me think they may be older college students. If your child came home with cuts or was out with friends drinking locally last night then please ask some questions.

Obviously the schools would love to increase their security options but with costs like this it's hard to afford and I would much prefer their money to be used on the kids, not tracking down undesirables.

Anyway thank you all for any time given to this post, I hope for some news.

Kind regards, Lockie Hawkins

Our Monarch Butterfly is under threat and this National Gardening Week Kiwis are being called upon to plant butterfly friendly plants to help save the caterpillars when they hatch in Spring and Summer.

Last year saw a national shortage of Swan plants, the main diet of Monarch caterpillars, causing a large number of the population to be wiped out.

Yates is getting behind the drive to avert a similar crisis this year by giving away various free butterfly friendly seeds including Yates new Butterfly Field Mix seeds between 1st and 14th October. Just register here during this time to receive your packet of seeds.

A national planting day will be held on 20th October. Plant a Swan plant or other butterfly friendly plants in your garden, in your neighbour’s garden, at school, in your local community garden – and let’s help Monarch butterflies flourish.

National Gardening Week aims to foster a love of gardening with a focus on growing not only plants but friendships, good health, strong communities and closer connections with nature.
