Last night the Tahuna Pasifika groups performed to rousing audiences at the Edgar Centre. The Cook Island group was tutored by Mrs Keni Moeroa and her daughter Sellina Sa'u, who have imparted a very special aspect of Cook Island culture with the students. For the first time in years, the group sang their opening number and boys were a part of the drum dance item. They looked spectacular in the variety of colourful lavalavas, lei and titi, made by the Moeroa family.

After recently visiting the Green Island Landfill as part of our Sustainability topic, we visited the Tahuna Waste Treatment Plant to see just what happens to our waste and how all the alterations and upgrades have dramatically and positively impacted on our neighbouring coastline.  We heard how important it is to watch what goes down the storm water drains and the worst culprits for the treatment station are the wet wipes.  It was a most informative visit and memorable visit.
