Nau mai, haere mai Robert Louis Stevenson school

The school put on a very special pōwhiri for 'Robert Louis Stevenson' School. We were very lucky to get the opportunity to do this an to share with them our culture through the powhiri and our performance. A very awesome day and one that will be remembered by all.

Performance #1 for 2016

About half of our class had the opportunity to perform to over 200 people at the children's launch today. We welcomed a lot of guest speakers one including Anne Tolley. It was an awesome opportunity to help us prep for regionals at the end of this year.

Karanga mai Polyfest!

8 lucky ladies who had shown a huge amount of commitment to their learning were selected to go along to Polyfest this year. Here are a 2 snaps from our day - the first one being in our taxi, which had very cool disco lights and the second being near the Māori stage. Awesome work Kōhine mā!

It's the end of an era... :(

We bid farewell to Jordan our awesome and very enthusiastic tennis coach who taught us a lot these past couple of weeks.

Thank you Jordan. Thank you also Mr Dawson for organising our weekly lessons. We throughly enjoyed learning something new every week and watching our tennis balls fly all the way to the whare kai and car park.

Room 20 Kōhine!

"Kiwi Can Says...

lets try our best to guide our blindfolded team mate through an obstacle course WITHOUT CHEATING. It's so easy to cheat in any game or to find a short cut to complete something faster...but is that following the rules?"

This is something we are still learning to put into our every day practice.

Look out Serena Williams!

Today we had our second tennis lesson with Jordan. We practiced our ball handling skills and even learnt how to do a back arm swing. Some of us managed to hit the ball all the way down to the wharekai. Now we just need to practice keeping the ball in the tennis court.
