EXTRA COPIES 40c. BRIEFLY ‘Good morning Te Awamutu’ Timing key to recycling Residents are being reminded to get their recycling bins out early on collection day. Waipa District Council roading corridor manager Dawn Inglis says Council has been fielding a number of calls regarding recyclables not being collected which, in a number of cases, was because they were placed at the roadside too late. As the contractors do not have a set route it is impossible for people to estimate the time of their arrival, so it is important recycling is out by the recommended time of 7am, Mrs Inglis says. Casino night for Guides A casino night on September 2 will raise funds to help send Pirongia Girl Guides to the National Jamboree in Rotorua. The casino night (at which the Guides will not be present, but some of their leaders, parents and supporters will) takes place at Pirongia Rugby and Recreation Club from 6pm. Ticket price of $20 includes a complimentary glass of wine, ‘funny money’, supper and the chance to win spot prizes. Tickets are available from Janeen on 871 9606 or Sonja on 871 9518.

From page 1. Over 7,000 books had to be put into storage while the refurbishment was carried out. After the location of the new library was confirmed, the planning process involved many discussions around layout, fabric, paint selection and furniture. Building began during the summer holidays 2010/2011. The space was extended on either side and the original windows were used to maintain the character of the older part of the building. The change of name from library to the ‘Inquiry Centre’ completed the school’s vision. Inquiry Centre manager Diane Hardy says that it is a place of discovery and enjoyment now and for the future. ‘‘Te Awamutu Primary now has a modern, vibrant, inviting space, where varied genre of text and e-learning tools provide a haven for inquiring minds.’’ At the launch principal Gareth Duncan acknow- ledged everyone involved and thanked the com- munity, on behalf of students and staff for the support given. Other speakers included Mayor Alan Livingston, BOT chairperson Alan Taylor, staff and student representatives. Next on the Te Awamutu Primary School agenda is refurbishment of the senior classes.
