On Saturday 25 March, Blind Low Vision NZ ran their annual street appeal. This was the biggest event that I had coordinated in my time as Service Director for the school with 42 of our St Paul's students (as well as 22 wonderful parent volunteers) occupying five stations across Pt Chevalier, Grey Lynn and Ponsonby.
