Our Māori & Pasifika Prizegiving on Tuesday 28 October, was a beautiful evening of celebration filled with pride, mana, and connection. We came together to celebrate the achievements, leadership, and cultural contributions of our Māori and Pasifika students. The night featured wonderful performances, and moments that highlighted the strength of identity, whānau, and community within our kura. A huge thank you to all the students, whānau, and staff who supported and made the evening so special. A special mihi to Whaea Geri, Whaea Whitney, and Matua Nathan, who helped organise everything, and to Bobbi Bailey-McDowell and Issie Mullen-Winiata, who MC’d the night brilliantly.
