SHE’S BACK!
WHITECLIFFS COMMUNITY HALL GRAND OPENING After 140 years, the grand old dame of Whitecliffs is back – freshly restored and ready to show herself off. Once the original South Malvern School (built in 1883, no less), then Branston Intermediate’s much-loved camp base, the building at 271 Whitecliffs Road has been Heritage listed and lovingly brought back to life over the past four years. Now, she’s stepping into a new chapter as the Whitecliffs Community Hall, and the community is throwing a celebration to remember. This celebration isn’t just for Whitecliffs – everyone in the wider Malvern community is warmly invited. Join the community for the grand opening on Saturday, October 11, from 11:30am to 3pm. At noon, enjoy a
special opening ceremony by Ngā Puāwai o Tawera, followed by Selwyn District Councillor Lydia Gliddon cutting the ribbon and officially handing over the hall to the community. Continued on page 2...
