Manawatia a Matariki
What an amazing Matariki celebration we had this morning. It was wonderful to see so many families coming together to join in our Matariki Breakfast. In celebration of Matariki we are:
- Remembering and honouring those we have lost since the last rising of Matariki.
- Celebrating the present and gathering together to give thanks for what we have.
- Looking to the future to to the promise of a new year.
As part of this celebration we as a school community launched our new 2022 – 2024 Charter
Thank you to the parents, families and staff who assisted with the 6 am set up. Thankfully, although cold, we had a beautiful fine winter morning. The BBQs were cranked up and bacon was thrown on to ensure when families began arriving at 7.30am, breakfast was ready… which also included buns, cupcakes, fruit, Milo and coffee.
A great beginning to the day for all and a wonderful start to our national Matariki weekend. We hope that you get to enjoy the many Matariki celebrations which are happening around Auckland tomorrow. The fine weather is set to continue.
