Marae Noho 2018


Our Marae Noho was recently held at the Hiruharamahou Marae in Te Tii. Students and their families/whānau from our kapa haka group, and anyone else who was keen joined together for a weekend of fun, waiata, kapahaka and whakawahānaungatanga/friendship.

Parents and students from our school community joined a pōwhiri on Friday afternoon, welcomed by Kaumatua and Kuia from the Marae. During speeches we were able to express our gratitude to the community for their hospitality and support for our school. 
Great to see Mrs Pippa who popped in for a look.

A massive word of thanks must go to our Kaiarahi, Nyree Porter who was the big motivator behind the weekend event, and Whaea Xani who worked tirelessly before and during the noho helping wherever needed. Nyree and Xani and their respective whānau generously gave their time to provide extra support in the kitchen where the food provided was amazing.

A big thanks also goes to all the other parents who visited and/or stayed a night in the wharenui. Your support was invaluable in making the event such a success. We are looking forward to our next noho, possibly later this year.
