It's only a small school, but the kids in Tamure 8 at Ngunguru School plan on making a big difference in the lives of animals at Whangarei's SPCA centre - and they are challenging other schools to do the same.
Class tutor Kelly Brookland said she read an article in the Northern Advocate about how the SPCA needed food for the puppies and kittens that have sadly been abandoned.

She took the article in to show the kids and they decided to do something about it. They got together as a class to find a way they could help and have now started a food drive in their community.
It's already paying off, with boxes of donated goods already flowing in.
