Our Wero Mātauraka – Spring Reading Challenge – has finished and although they had hoped for an increase in entries, they ended up with similar numbers to the previous year. Congratulations to all the tamariki who entered and to our major draw winners (DUPS), Rishjarn Hereaka, who won a tablet and Rohatai Madoc-Fernadez, who received a waterproof camera.
