I revised my mihi this year to include my arrival in Auckland but not to include my mountain and loch which I have previously included as they are important in my culture, though in a different way from that recognised in Māori pepeha. My class have also been learning their mihi or pepeha as appropriate to their own cultures so that we can recits them this week and whenever called upon. We then went outside and sang waiata with most of our school at 12pm to join together and celebrate.
