Year 7 Hangi - Friday 18th June


As part of our Year 7 unit this term we are learning about and participating in Matariki celebrations.

On Thursday afternoon and Friday morning, all of the students will be participating in a range of Matariki inspired activities such as flax weaving, Maori art, visiting the museum and observatory.
To conclude our Matariki celebrations we will be having a hangi lunch. This will take place this Friday 18th June. The ‘kai’ group will be in charge of preparing the hangi with the assistance of Mr Herden and a few other senior teachers in the school.

Every year 7 student is invited to bring a lunch pack to school on Thursday morning. This will need to include a frozen piece of meat, for example a chop or a chicken drumstick. The pack should also include two vegetables like potato, kumera, yams, corn on the cob or pumpkin. This pack needs to be wrapped thoroughly in tinfoil with your child’s name and room number on it.

Our kai group will collect the lunch packs on Thursday morning and they will check all of the parcels have been wrapped and labelled correctly and then pack them into crates ready to go in the hangi early on Friday morning.

We would also appreciate any donations of old newspapers or magazines for our art and Te Rakau groups. These can be brought along to school and i will distribute them to the appropriate people. Thank you.
