The Kauri Syndicate newsletter provides updates on the progress of the North Creek Project and upcoming events at the end of the school term. Students have been planting trees and sedges along the creek and over 600 more trees will be planted at the official opening celebration on July 2nd. The newsletter also discusses student speeches for a competition, reporting that will be sent home to update parents on student progress, and encourages parents to view and give feedback on students' work on classroom wikispages sites.
