Hiwi The Kiwi Visit

The Minstrel came to Mangonui School and did an awesome performance for the students. He sang, danced, told jokes and stories about the sea. He told a story about the importance of wearing life jackets “You would be crazy not to wear one”! He also talked about the importance of throwing back the really big fish and small fish. Heaps of prizes were given out to the good listeners. He also gave the school a top fishing rod to be given to the student who writes the best fishing story. AND Snapa Slapa 2 a local charter boat has given 4 free trips to learners who put the most effort into their work. The Principal has to also go along!

"Kai Moana for you and me"
