At our high school our kāhui māori group ran workshops for our year 9 classes to make poi, harakeke putiputi and learn waiata. It’s too often that celebrations of māori tikanga go unnoticed in our school so it was awesome for myself and the other kāhui māori girls to enrich the culture within our school. We also had a fun carnival lunch where there were many games like ki o rahi as well as face painting and māori songs. This was my matariki moment- seeing how so many girls can be apart of and enjoy all things māori
