On Saturday the 4th of November, Oranga Primary held a Multicultural Day, to celebrate the school’s diversity. Performers and staff wore colourful cultural outfits – in contrast to the grey clouds that blanketed the sky. Principal Diana Peri, set the tone, wearing a beautiful Polynesian-inspired flower head-dress. The event was planned to take place outdoors, but wet weather moved friends and families under cover. The large doors of the hall were opened up, and guests quickly filled seats.

The sight of the large transmission pylons stretching across the Onehunga foreshore and the pretty bays of Hillsborough cannot, by any stretch of the imagination, be called a picture postcard view. However, Roskill Community Voice (RCV) has used the view on their  own postcard campaign to bury the pylons, and as an effective way of getting political attention.
