Sun shines and funseekers climb to Devonport Primary’s Fair on the Hill

Crowds flocked to Devonport Primary School’s Fair on the Hill in perfect autumnal conditions last Saturday, enjoying a kapa haka performance, talent show, live music, rides, games, market stalls and more – along with the school’s enviable Hauraki Gulf views. Funds were raised for improvements to the school’s outdoor areas.
