One of the traditions of our kura (school) is for our Year 13’s that are graduating to plant a tree to symbolise their long lasting connection to the kura. We took a moment yesterday to celebrate in this occasion with our taiohi (students).

Maceo, Santoss, Juan, Fontaysha, Te Ao Mana and Bree, “Kia kaha, kia maia, kia toa, kia manawanui” (Be strong, be steadfast, be willing).
