Mangonui School Christmas in the Park 2012

Last Saturday Mangonui School held the fourth annual Christmas in the Park. The pictures do not show the huge crowd that attended, it was amazing. This is a healthy sign of supportive community that are proud of their school. Big thanks to all the parents and friends of our school that made this day so special and successful. The Kotahitanga group lead by Tam should be very satisfied that their efforts were so keenly supported by everyone.

Weaving

The students in Tuatara have been learning about harekeke and weaving for the last couple of terms. We are very lucky to have an 'inside expert' whaea Turi to support this learning. Today parents were invited to come in and share their knowledge and learn about harekeke. Students made bracelets, kete, mats and putiputi.

Blair Tuke

Mangonui School is extremely lucky to have the Woodroffe sisters who know Blair Tuke NZ silver medallist for sailing personally. Sidney got her class to write letters to Blair asking that he (and his silver medal) come and visit Mangonui School. The school held a powhiri to welcome Blair and then he spent the morning talking to students. His big message was that everyone needs to set realistic goals to achieve their big goal. He also told us that when he won the silver medal they celebrated by eating 10 McDonald burgers.
