A REMINDER THERE IS MUFTI DAY TOMORROW - COME DRESSED AS YOUR FAVOURITE SPORTS PERSON.

It was great to have Karl Wixon come in to speak to the Year 7 and 8 group this morning, in preparation for the boys' preparing and presenting their pepeha.

A pepeha is about identifying yourself. 

A mihi is a greeting

Another key concept looked at:Turangawaewae:
Turanga - place
Waewae - feet
"A place to stand" - feeling like you are respected, you belong, you are confident.
