Nei rā te mihi maioha ki a koutou te whānau i tae mai ki te tautoko te pō whakanuia o Mana Māori o te kura nei mā ngā tauira mai ngā tēina tae atu ki ngā tuākana.
No reira tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.
Congratulations to all of our wonderful Māori student achievers and their whānau who were recognised at last week’s Mana Māori Celebration. We were able to farewell our Year 13 Māori student graduates and present them with taonga as they move on to their next adventure, at university, in apprenticeships, work or training. At the same time we are very sorry to see such a wonderful group of young people leave us as they have been a very generous and motivated group of young people.
It was great to have the performance by the Kapa Haka roopu and a dance by Lottie Tahi.
Congratulations to all those who received awards on the night and especially to the major award winners
