LATEST TE KORŌRIA UPDATE
This week more Nu- Wall cladding has gone on to the outside of the Counselling rooms. The external lining of the Te Korōria is nearly complete (you can see that it is nearly all orange now). Over the next few weeks, you will see the windows arriving and going in and more of the cladding being installed. Meanwhile, inside, wiring, and plumbing work has started (first fixes).
Items from the little orange gift books would make excellent Christmas Presents for people you don’t know what to buy for, so keep that in mind! We can provide you with a little gift certificate to wrap up, as a physical present. We really appreciate all the amazing donations we have received so far. We have received over $58,000 donated towards fit-out costs which is fantastic.
