Book parade

Was asked to help MC the book parade during book week. Liased with colleagues and delivered a fun event. Managed and guided children and questioned them about their costumes. Introduced and collaborated with the judges. Used humour and actions to enhance event.


Marae trip

Spoke at the marae on behalf of the school; my pepeha followed by recognising the ancestors and the tangata whenua of Tangatarua and Ihenga and thanked them for welcomimng our school.

No Ingarangi ahau, te tāone o Coalville
Ko Beacon Hill te Maunga
Ko Soar te Awa
Ko Singapore Airlines te waka
Ko Leicestershire te Iwi
Ko Carrington te hapu
Ko te whare o Matua Carrington toku marae
Kei Rotorua ahau e noho ana inaianei
Ko Neil Carrington toku ingoa

Tena koe te whare e tu nei. Tu mai tu mai tena koe.
Te papa e takoto nei tena koe oti kau tena korua.
Tena koutou e nga tangata o te hau kainga,
Mo te whakatau mai i a matou nga manuhiri.
Mihi mai ki a matou te kura o Otonga.
Kua tae mai i waenga i a koutou.
Mihi mai, mihi mai, mihi mai
Tenei te mihi tenei te maioha

Tena koutou tena koutou tena tatou katoa.
