Mt Pleasant School principal Chris Nord stands next to the Mahuri tree, holding a poster for the Mount Pleasant Art Exhibition which features a Kakapo painted by this year's featured artist, Jo Ogier. An animated tree displayed at Mt Pleasant School is beginning to flourish. “Mahuri,” which stands for sapling, is an initiative which is helping the school to grow its resources with help from the community. This year’s Mt Pleasant Art Exhibition on Friday and Saturday will be the vehicle to get the initiative out into the community. •For more information or to buy tickets to the Mt Pleasant Art Exhibition, visit https://www.facebook.com/events/351730152436362/ or for more information on Mahuri, visit https://www.mahuri.co.nz/
