Friday, 9 December was a busy one for our school Kapa Haka group. In
the morning they travelled to Rotorua for a ‘Day Out’ to reward them for the
many hours they spent practicing this year. They visited Whakarewarewa
Thermal Village where they gave the visiting tourists an impromptu concert,
then spent the afternoon at the Rotorua Aquatic Centre.
Novelty awards were also given
Many thanks to all those who contributed to making this a memorable evening
for the children, the tutors, E Pa, the guest Kapa Haka groups and extra
thanks to Te Wananga O Aotearoa, Te Wananga O Raukawa, the Waiariki
Institute and Raukawa Trust Board for their very generous donations of books
and c.d.s which the children received as prizes. Cricket
A team has been playing in the Putaruru Primary Schools 8 a-side competition
on Monday nights. The weather has not been kind to us but the children
have enjoyed the games they have played. We have had two wins and one
loss and came runner-up in the competition. Many thanks to Mark Pourau
for coaching, encouraging and transporting the children and to James Coxhead
for his support and transport each week. Phil Straw Principal
