Today we came together to celebrate Te Wiki o te reo Maori with a whole school hangi.

We would also like to acknowledge the many people who peeled and chopped veges, dug holes, served food and cleaned up. We really appreciate each and every one of you.

A special thank you to Whaea Helen, Raelene Miller, Anthony & Debbie Kinita, Edward Lockwood, Dave Harrison, Manu Martin and Rob Taikoko for providing the expertise and manpower. It is wonderful to have this knowledge in our own community.

More thanks has to go to Tauriko Sawmill, Inghams, Oropi School and CityCare for supporting us to make our hangi a success.
