Another feature of this edition is Lionheart, a student magazine carrying the theme, "Own your identity - Purutia tō tuakiritanga".
Finally, the team would love to thank all our whānau who have contributed stories and photos to this month's edition. Without your help, we wouldn't have so much great content.
