Te Pā o Rākaihautū in Christchurch has been using repurposed buildings since 2015 while waiting for a permanent location. The school is currently dealing with issues including mould, leaks, and sewage problems. These nearly 70-year-old structures are struggling to provide adequate protection against the cold.
