It was lovely to catch up with many of our families and ex students for our New Year Puanga celebration. The morning started wet but the rain held off.
A Pohutakawa tree was planted in memory of Gerrard Williams-Bogileka by his whānau in our Memorial Garden.
Our Roopu birds (Kereru, Ruru and Tui) were blessed by Mātua John and then into the hall for bacon and egg butties, venison, scrambled eggs, sausages, weetbix and fruit.
Our Kapa Haka group performed and sang a tribute song to Gerrard. It was a great opportunity then for parents and whānau to walk through the classrooms and share with the children the work they have been doing.
