Reading routine is changing lives - one book at a time 📖

At May Road School, a simple 15-minute reading session is helping students build confidence, literacy skills, and meaningful connections.

Through the school’s long-running Reading Assistance Programme, volunteers, including Vikki Cottingham, Assistant Development Manager working within the Roskill South development, are helping strengthen the bonds between school and community, one story at a time.

For nearly 20 years, a simple 15-minute shared reading routine in the staffroom at May Road School has been changing lives - one book at a time.

Transformed into an attractive green space ✅

We recently celebrated the completion of Te Auaunga ki Tai Stormwater Reserve alongside mana whenua, project partners and the local community. The name, gifted by mana whenua, means "Te Auaunga towards the sea" and acknowledges Te Auaunga Awa (Oakley Creek). As a tūpuna awa (ancestral stream), Te Auaunga has long held significant cultural, spiritual and ecological value.

The project has restored and enhanced a section of this important waterway, helping reconnect people with a part of the landscape that was previously hidden from view. All while improving important infrastructure for current and future generations living in the area.

Since opening its doors, the Ōwairaka Info Cube has been a welcoming place for conversations about the future of Ōwairaka and the progress of the local development. Now, with key stages of the development well underway, the Ōwairaka Info Cube has fulfilled its role and it’s time for the space to close.

The last day of opening will be tomorrow!
