MAY ROAD SCHOOL - HELPING THE COMMUNITY
May Road School had a significant range of cultures within its role, and the school wanted to be able to show how these cultures can journey to get to a place of learning.
Two members of our shed Chris Stuart and Don Hook took upon themselves to solve this. The Waka (canoe) demonstrates a means of transport, and the Whare (meeting house) is where the learning can take place.
The Waka and Whare were both designed and hand built by the Members of our shed and are both situated at the school with the Waka being placed at the entrance to the school, and the Whare as a place to gather and learn.
The 12 Paddles that were made, represent the beliefs of the school.
