On the evening of Wednesday June 26th, from 6:00pm-7:00pm we are going to be holding an event at school to celebrate our recent opening of our Kōtare classroom as well as take the opportunity to honour Matariki.

There will be a short presentation starting at 6:00pm then families will be invited to wander around some light displays created by our ākonga (learners). There will be kai (food) to enjoy from food trucks or you are welcome to bring a pikiniki (picnic). We would love all whānau (families) and friends of our school to join us in coming together, celebrating, acknowledging the past, and looking ahead to what the new Māori year will bring.

I know we have some incredibly knowledgeable whānau Māori in this space. If this is you and you have knowledge you would like to share, skills or a pūrākau that would help us honour this time of year please get in touch with us as we would love to involve you.
