He Toki students working with Kaiapoi Pā Trust
He Toki students have contributed to some of Kaiapoi Pā Trust’s restoration work. He Toki students tidied up the Kaiapoi Pā monument and built a replica fighting platform (pūwhara) at Te Kōhanga o Kaikai-a-Waro Pā site within the Pegasus Town golf course.
“This is hopefully the start of an on-going relationship” says the He Toki ki te Rika co-ordinator, Hemi Te Hemi.
“It’s a great chance for our students to gain the work experience they need and contribute to the local community at the same time.”
He Toki and the Kaiapoi Pā Trust are already talking about the next jobs, and have their eyes on repairing the lookout platform at Kaiapoi Pā.
