Congratulations to the amazing team at Tahuna-ā-Rua for organising and hosting the annual puāwaitanga for our departing students. This year’s puāwaitanga took place at a new venue, the Palmerston North Race Course. The scenery, venue, food, and staff were outstanding. Our Year 8 students from Tahuna-ā-Rua looked stunning, and we extend our gratitude to Whaea Jahnae for capturing all the amazing photos and creating lasting memories for our whānau and hapori.
