Mihi Whakatau

 Thank you so much for attending our Mihi whakatau this morning. 

The Mihi whakatau is a traditional Māori welcome ceremony. The purpose of the Mihi whakatau is to remove the tapu of the Manuhiri (visitors) to make them one with the Tangata Whenua (Home people). It is a gradual process of the Manuhiri and the Tangata Whenua coming together.

The children were mesmerised by the beautiful haka and singing by our students and are feeling so welcome in their new school. We hope you enjoyed it and feel a part of our school whanau. 

If you were unable to make it, we managed to snag a few pictures this morning and you can find these below.
