Needed: River stones for our Mihi Whakatau

Katie Morriss —

Would you like a fun holiday task? We are in need of more painted river stones to gift at our Mihi Whakatau.

At the beginning of each term, we welcome our new families with a Mihi Whakatau. 

During the Mihi Whakatau, the new families are gifted a small river stone which represents one of the elements: fire, water, earth or air. These elements are reflected in our Clearview Eye. 

We are in need of some more stones for our future Mihi Whakatau. If you and your family would like to create some for us, it would be greatly appreciated!

There are some ideas below and examples of current stones we have ready to gift next term.
