Thanks to a team of skilled Kamo High School students 10 dogs will now have new kennels to call home.
Students on the Trades Academy course used their building skills to make the kennels for the Ruakākā Dog Rescue Centre who will dish them out to needy canines.
Director of Trades Tammy Thorley said some of the 77 students, aged 15 to 18, on the Trades Academy course had already constructed one kennel as part of their work.
But when Thorley learned of Ruakākā Dog Rescue's need for more canine abodes she let her talented students know and they went to work, quickly constructing five kennels.
