Our vision: Waipipi Students are successful learners, who communicate confidently and interact positively with others.
School Beautification Project
New Entrance:
Craig Good is establishing a new
entrance way path for the school. At
the start of the path the garden is
being done up and an entrance frame
is being constructed by Graeme
Statham. (example to the right)
Entrance Frame: on one side of the frame there are some
really lovely photos of our students in action. On the back
of the frame there will be a spectacular mural designed and
painted by a local artist, Juayrn Minhinnick. This mural
tells the story of Waipipi School through his eyes.
At the top of the entrance path will be some coloured
pencils made from uni posts. The current garden that
was beside the stairs has been removed. The current
path the students use to get to the court will remain.
Fixing old crumbly path by office
Office Garden:
This has been reframed by Graeme Statham. This will
be stained and filled with mulch to stop the weeds.
Verandah and Shade Sail
This is being built around Room 5. It will give the
protection from the elements and students shade..
Class, toilet and library refurbishment
We are awaiting approval from the Ministry to get
these projects started. We are hoping this will start day
one, next term.
Holiday Working Bee
Mrs Brown would love some help to complete the
following projects:
1. Stain seating by pool
2. Clear out garden at entrance way, under pool sign,
and beside Rooms 1, 2 and 3.
3. Paint totem poles and attach clay tiles to them.
4. Remove tree by swimming pool that drops sticky
bits.
If you are able to give some of your time please
email or ring Mrs Brown. Thanks!
This is being completed over the school holidays.
New path from Smile Room to Junior Playground
This will be completed by the end of the school
holidays.
New Tennis Court
In the Christmas holidays a new tennis court is being
built near the school office. This court will add to our
playground space over winter when the grass areas get
very muddy.
Old Court
The old court is going to have some revamp work done to it
to make it more level for the children. The court lines will
also be repainted.
Class Art Projects
These are near completion and will hopefully be up soon.
