Cultural Festival Performance - Wow!

Yesterday I had the pleasure of attending the Cultural Festival. It was great to see such proud, confident and incredibly talented young people. The performances were truly inspiring. I can't wait to join the school and start learning with these talented tamariki.

I'd like to acknowledge the leadership and commitment of Matua Joe Murray, our kapahaka tutor, as well as the dedication and support of Sandra Keenan and Linda Sweeny, two of our amazing teachers.

There are some initial photos from the festival here...

TE ATUA
Te Atua tapu o ngā tapu
ki a Ihu te kororia te honore
Te Atua te mana hareruia
i heke mai te maunga tapu ki
Te Atua tapu o ngā tapu
i mate nei a ihu e te kingi nui
i mate nei a ihu e te kingi nui
Amine

We are like the raindrops on the land, and we are learning our language to keep our Māori culture alive. Kia ora Koutou.
