Speeches 2014

This week is the senior speeches. Students in room 23 have been thinking about famous people in the Maori world. Their speeches are based on Maori leaders that have contributed positively to Aotearoa. The other week, we had a lawyer, chef and actor come to Te Whanau Awhina to talk about their jobs. We look forward to someone special in room 23 to do their speech this week. Nga mihi nui!

Success stories in Pukeko Class

We have been busy bees in Pukeko class over the past few weeks. Big congratulations to Te Uwhinga for winning the middle year Pink T-shirt logo competition with King Home boy. She absolutely deserves this award as she is a very caring student who dislikes bullying.

Awesome work from our orchestra students - Shaniqua, Shannon, Calais and Merani who performed last night at the George Hawkins theatre. Your behaviour was excellent and your performance made everyone very proud.

Big ups to Merani and Leilani Mei who both got certificates and books at the last two whole school assemblies for been hard working students. Mauri ora!

Te Whanau Awhina Pride!

For some reason the students in Pukeko and Kereru classes decided to haka it out during lunch time. They had their shirts off and were showing their TWA pride. Of all places to haka, they started doing it at the playground and then went around the school. It is awesome to have pride, but we must also remember to be humble too. Nga mihi nui!
