Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori - Paeroa College celebrating Maori Language Week

Paeroa College was proud to celebrate Maori Language week in 2016 with a range of activities designed to promote one of our official languages of New Zealand.  We are very thankful to all the families, staff and businesses that donated all the food for our whole school hangi on the last day of term as part of this celebration. Thank you so much for your continued support.  The following activities were run:

• Interhouse Haka competition
• House Haka practice every interval for each house
• Year 9 and 10 students creating Maori Language books
• Staff completing matching activities during meetings to promote the use of Te Reo Maori
• Whole school Hangi - thank you to all the staff, students and parents who came in and prepared, cooked and served the food on this day.
