100pc turnout at Waiwhare pet day

All families with children at Waiwhare School turned up for the school’s annual pet day.

The day was dominated by lambs and dogs. Other notable pets were pigeons, goldfish and cats.

“The large turnout of parents representing all 26 families was pleasing to note,” said school principal Mr Dave Wallis.

A relieving teacher and district resident, Mrs Pam Gunson, judged the entries.

“The children put in many hours of hard work with the indoor exhibits while their knowledge of pet care was also a feature,” Mr Wallis said. All children received an award in nearly 30 sections.

A morning tea was held and the show concluded at mid-day.
