What The Kids Say
“For the past 8 years here I feel like Ashley Rakahuri has a lot of opportunities. Such as lots of sports like, cross country for all ages, swimming, and winter sports. There is lots of fundraising like, the colour run, market day, sausage sizzles, mufti days and a lot of other things. I find it enjoyable and fun because we all get to come together as a whole school in whanau house and get to do a variety of sports and activities which makes us come together more often. “
