Centennial Park School-Te Kura Rautau held a Matariki kaitahi at the marae before the holidays. The classes performed items in the wharenui and this was followed up with kapa haka in the wharekai. During the holidays our cleaner/kaiawhina/Breakfast Club coordinator/ringa raupo passed away. We held a karakia and remembrance time when our students returned to school. We spoke about, listened to and wrote about the contributions of 'nanny' Tui to our kura. We have a remembrance corner near the school office where we can contemplate and/or write about our treasured nanny. Remembering nanny Tui Peters. Okioki raa koe e te tino taaonga o Te Kura Rautau!
