Hinepau Show

On Tuesday we were fortunate to have the Hinepau production come to school. It was a show about the Maori legend, Hinepau, which highlighted the importance  of looking after Papatuanuku and celebrating differences. The show was entirely in Te Reo which was a first for many of us, but we got the concept of the story from the amazing actors, captivating waiata, and stunning costumes and props. Very cool show!

Cross Country

Today we had our annual school cross country. We all had a blast! Lots of mud, mud fights and heaps of laughs. Perfect day! We even got to travel there and back on the train!

Haka at the Waiuru Army Museum

After our lessons and tour around the Waiuru Army Museum the boys wanted to say thank you to our leaders and show their respect in such a special place..They performed a haka in the place at the museum, where soldiers are sworn into the army after their training.  Everyone felt the goosebumps during this.
