Celebrating Maori Language

On Friday, 24 June a group of students travelled to Linton Army Camp to support one of our promising Te Reo students, Le'ché Kingi-McCavana, as she competed in the Ngā Manu Kōrero Speech Competition. Le'ché competed in the Senior English (Korimako) section and delivered a beautiful speech, which demonstrated her impressive vocabulary and understanding of both the English and Māori language.

Le'ché was also interviewed by the Manawatu Standard and featured in the Weekend edition of the newspaper to speak about this experience and her passion for Te Reo. Well done, Le'ché, we are very proud of your achievements.

Our 400 Block Kapa Haka group celebrated Māori Language Week by performing at the Summerset Rest Home. The residents appreciated our visit and particularly enjoyed engaging with our students after their performance.
