Healthy lunches catch on with youngsters

The Pokoinu Hall in Nikao came to life on Monday, the first day of school for students attending the new Apii Nikao early childhood education unit. Twenty-four eager students, formerly of Nikao Maori School and Avatea School, took ownership of the newly renovated hall in an energetic start to the school year. The open learning and playing spaces at the new school grounds are designed to grow the young minds of the students, aged three and four. PHOTO Ministry of Education. 15020303
