And most import and a big thank you to the team from St Kentigern schools.

Here are a few of the photos I took of their work around the PCV Office

Progress photos of the work

The tables and chairs and fitting of the legs.

Leveling the ground and digging holes for the chairs and tables.  Also painting in the background

The inside of the doors were painted with blackboard paint so the menus and prices could be written in chalk on the doors.

Jenita from the PCV office made the cake for the celebration thank you morning tea.  The cake was made of 4 standard 10" cakes.  The icing and design was also used to decorate the cake by Jenita.  Well done. 

Thank you speeches, and cutting the cake.
