Road Side Art Unveiling

You may have seen some painted poles decorating the side of the road on Casey Ave. These were designed, and painted, by a group of Year Five and Six Woodstock School and St Joseph's School children under the leadership of Nicole Glover. The six poles represent the six bridges of Hamilton, as well as the various well known events and activities that are carried out in the city. Each pole has a different theme:- the Hamilton Balloon Festival, children of Woodstock and St Joseph's schools, V8 car races, the Hamilton logo, waka/canoes on the river and the Waikato sports team colours. The poles are shaped in a way to represent the school's closest bridge, which is the Fairfield Bridge. The poles were officially unveiled on the wet and blustery Thursday July 14th, by Councillor Maria Westphal. The children involved were given certificates and prizes by Mayor Julie Hardaker.
