Full School Assembly

📣 Full School Assembly

After our last assembly was cancelled due to the yucky weather, we were excited to gather together today!

🌟 We kicked things off with a lively Kuni Kuni (dance) as students arrived and were seated. For the first time, we sat in our whānau groups – and it worked really well having our tuakana and teina together.

🎤 Our presenters, Summer and Dylan, did a fantastic job leading the assembly, with Quinn and Chayse working hard behind the scenes.

🏀 First up, we celebrated our Taranaki Basketball Reps:

Taine McKenna
Hamuora Adas
Ava Falaniko
Lyric Falaniko
Yasiin Falaniko

🔥 Next, we heard a news story about the devastating fire at the Marist Dragons Clubrooms and reflected on our amazing dress-up day and fundraising efforts.

🎶 We sang Haruru Ana (spot Mrs Pascoe in her bright blue furry coat!) – one of the school waiata we are learning for our whānau competitions.

🏆 We then celebrated our Year 7 & 8 interschool teams, hearing from the captains of Netball, Rugby, and Football about their games in Hāwera yesterday.

⚽ Mr Lewis shared the legendary moment from the semi-final win with our Football team – featuring superstar Rangi Tau!

👏 Paki paki (clap clap) to all of our interschool players for representing our kura with pride and living our school values.

💃 Before we wrapped up, everyone joined in a fun Kuni Kuni to Waka Waka, filling the hall with energy and smiles!
