Children at Funhouse Learning Centre in Whanganui will soon have a new fire engine play house thanks to a group of Whanganui City College students.
The students took on the BCITO (Building and Construction Industry Training Organisation) Build-Ability challenge in May this year when they submitted their plans for a play house.
Discovering that the Funhouse had an old play house that was tired and rickety, they offered to build them a new one.
"We are delighted to be chosen," said Funhouse manager Charity Brown.
"The students have consulted with us every step of the way and they asked the children for their ideas as well.
"They have been down to test the height for the seats by getting the children to sit while they measured to find the right dimensions.
