This year’s Pou Arahi (student leadership team) will start the year off with a retreat in Waitangi February 4. It will be an early start for those involved, meeting at the Kura at 7:15am, and returning approximately 8pm.
The ākonga will attend the Iwi leaders Forum as guests of the Ngati Wai chairman Haydn Edmonds. Take part in some team building and have a guest speaker at dinner.
Ākonga will need to come to school in their number ones and pack some casual clothes, togs and a towel as well. The annual retreat is not only a time to get to know each other as the senior leaders of Te Kāpehu Whetū, but an opportunity to see leadership in action.
Permission forms will be given to ākonga at their PLP meeting on Tuesday.
