The Paeroa War Memorial Hall was filled with colour on September 18, as local schools held a combined art exhibition.
The Ohinemuri Kāhui Ako Art Fair featured 196 entries, from 12 schools and early childhood education centres. Pieces from participating primary schools and Paeroa College’s junior students were placed into four separate categories for judging: sculptures and ceramics; sketching and drawing; painting; and digital art.
A non-competing category featured collaborative and experimental works from the early childhood centres and Goldfields School.
