Waharoa

Last year, one of our parents, Jake Yocum  carved a beautiful waharoa (entrance way), which was placed at the entrance of our school on Hamilton Road.  This carving represented the legend of Ngake and Whataitai.  This year, Ray Ahipene- Mercer from the Wellington City Council came to our assembly to retell the story.  As part of our Matariki celebrations, some of our children helped Jake design and carve new pillars which have been placed beneath the original carving.  As a school, we all walked out through the car park and back under the waharoa.
