Story and photos by Celeste Alexander A class of year 3 students at Renwick School decided they wanted to “cheer up” the children of Kaikoura by writing handwritten letters and collecting donations for Kaikoura Primary School.

in it. I hope it makes the children happy.” The shoeboxes and letters have been delivered to a local family who have very kindly offered to fly them via helicopter and personally deliver them to Kaikoura Primary School.
