Tiki Taiaha Logo
This is our beautiful mural in the foyer of Rooms 10 and 11. It represents our two e-Learning classes, Year 7 Tikis and Year 8 Taiaha. The words are our School values. The blue and red respectively represent our Maunga Karioi (Rm 10) and Pirongia (Rm 11). It was painted by Matua Brady Walker, a young and talented self taught artist who translated our vision onto canvas - ATAAHUA!

Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori

After going through extensive auditions, Room 10 now has its very own film crew, they are Sophie (Camera) Lily (Director) and Anjali (Interviewer).  During the course of Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori, the film crew gathered teachers from around the school to interview.  What followed were some interesting and hilarious snipets that we are keen to share through this forum.  A big Kia ora to our awesome teachers who 'volunteered' to come to Room 10 and answer some Patai from the girls.



Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori

Last week our school celebrated Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori.   Highlights for students were the daily  "Korero Mai" announcements from Matua Heta, daily lunchtime activities and the use of Kupu in and around our Kura.  Room 10 students were enthralled with the musical talents of Adam Whauwhau who visited our classroom.  He spoke to the students about keeping alive the Maori language and tikanga and recounting some interesting stories about Maori place names.  He then concluded with a Waiata, his guitar playing was legendary - tu meke (awesome) Matua Adam!  Room 10's film crew captured one of the Waiata, titiro mai!
