Now that the prints have been ordered and the artwork has been delivered, we'd like to say one final thank you to everyone who supported our ART ASSEMBLY exhibition.

A special thank you to our wonderful sponsors, LMS Insure & Invest and Vet Services

Central Natives kindly provided beautiful plants, and the @CHB Museum and Otane Arts and Crafts Corner helped with easels and display boards.

Your generous support helped make this exhibition possible, and we're lucky to have such fantastic local businesses and groups backing our Pukehou School community.
