Blessed gymnasium for our rangatahi

Flaxmere College staff and board members gathered on May 5 with kaumata Papa Jerry Hapuku, to bless the school's newly refurbished and almost finished gymnasium. The new area includes purpose-built classrooms, weight areas and gear storage. It is almost the last piece of the huge renovation that provides the college with the most up-to-date learning facilities in the region.
