Powhiri recount
It was the biggest day for Christ the King because it was the
powhiri for our new principal and new teachers. As the guests
arrived they were greeted with the song He honore. As everyone
settled down, Father Peter gave a greeting in Maori.

Near the end of the Powhiri the whole school sang E minaka ana
and the room 2 girls did the actions. Most of the girls were really
nervous when everyone was looking at them. Eventually people
started leaving and the school started to sing E Toru nga mea.
Since the powhiri was 30 minutes long we got an earlier lunch
time.
