A large group of our Paerangi students (from years 10 – 13) will be performing at the festival on Thursday 14th April at 2.55pm and our entire kura whānau will be attending to support the kaupapa and enjoy being a part of the largest Tai Tokerau annual secondary school event.
All ākonga will travel by bus, departing from our Lower Dent Street campus, at 9.30am and will return by 5.30pm. The ‘North’ bus will depart at 5.30pm that evening. Whānau are welcome to attend the event with us but must make your own travel arrangements as buses will be full.
All ākonga are expected to arrive to school in full, clean, school uniform, and will remain in this all day. They should also bring a snack and a large water bottle/drink.
Hāngi Orders
Otamatea’s hāngi is now only being provided on Wednesday. Those whānau who have paid at the office can collect those hāngi from Kura, at the end of the day on Wednesday 13th April. A representative group from Kura will go to the pōwhiri and will return with those hāngi that have already been paid for. Whānau are asked to ensure your taitamariki have a packed lunch or money for lunch at Otamatea – there will be a variety of stalls on the field near the stage.
Further details about festival will be given to you as we draw closer to the event. Feel free to contact me with any queries.
