Mihi Whakatau

This morning we were lucky enough to hold our first mihi whakatau for 2022. This was an opportunity to welcome our new tamariki and their whānau to Halswell School.

Our mihi whakatau involves the Kapa Haka roopu (group) welcoming new members of our school into the Hall, followed by some brief speeches and waiata kīnaki (supporting songs), hongi/hariru (pressing of noses/handshake) and concludes with some shared kai (food) for the adults and morning tea for the students.

The children in Ahuriri were AMAZING! We were so incredibly proud of them.
