Mammoth effort to clean up Buller school before term 3 starts

From Afternoons, 1:17 pm on 21 July 2021

A massive clean up effort is underway at Buller High School to make sure it can open again in time for term 3 this coming Monday. It's one of the many buildings that suffered extensive flooding over the weekend when record rainfall hit the West Coast of the South Island.

OCS NZ's Contract Manager for Buller High School, Hannah Bill, has been rallying around to get as many people as she can to help make sure the class rooms are able to be used.

She talks to Jesse about how much work has to be done.
