Celebrating 'Cultural Visibility' #1: Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori Language Week

This week our school celebrated Te Wiki O Te Reo Māori Language Week.  We have been entrenched in Haka Waiata preparations for our end of week assembly where will see each house compete for the Top House Award. I enjoyed helping a few of the different whanau groups behind the scenes to get ready.  I also had the honour of videoing the event below.


The fact that the Reo empowered our students to be part of something great is quite something to see.  I was so proud of some of my year 9 boys who were centre stage and I made sure that next time I had them for class, I elevated their involvement to the next level.
