A local primary school has pasted more than 800 cards on their gate in a wonderful display of support for Ukraine.
Owairoa Primary students wrote messages of support with their families and hung them up on the gates on Wednesday May 11, as part of the school’s ‘Stand with Ukraine’ day.
Staff and students also dressed in the colours of the Ukrainian flag – blue and yellow.
“We’re just trying to have some awareness and compassion because our values are about caring for others,” Alan McIntyre, Owairoa’s principal, says.
“This is something we need to be aware of in terms of a worldly event.”
The school also collected donations that will go to UNICEF.
