Psalm's Speech He Manu Kōrero

Kia ora!

I have finally been able to upload Psalm's awesome whai kōrero that she did at the Junior He Manu Kōrero Speeches in Te Whare Āwhina. Fantastic stuff Psalm!



Mahanihani and Awhitu Regional Park

Kia ora tātou!
Our Resilience and He Manukura students visited Mahanihani where there is a light house and winds that bless those that come to the area. We were able to see Te Toka Tapu ā Kupe (The sacred rock of Kupe), Paratūtai Island and much more. Our group later went to Awhitu Regional Park for a swim. We later thanked our wonderful tutors for all their mahi this year. For more historical information about the area click on the link here. A big mihi to our Resilience and He Manukura coordinators for a great day today - Mauta Kapi, Matua Mahaani and Matua Were - Ngā mihi nui! Thanks Whaea Oronsay for being our awesome driver as always!

He Manukura and Resilience Marae Noho

What an awesome marae noho. Students went to the sacred mountain Matukutureia and learnt how to do mau rakau. Later, we went to the Manurewa aquatic centre for a swim and then later enjoyed several team work activities in the evening before watching a fun movie. The kai was sooooo delicious too yummmmm Nā Psalm Mahanga
