Konnichiwa!

Yesterday, students from the Buzan school, who have been visiting our school this week, were presented with certificates in assembly, celebrating their successes during their time here at St Kevin's.

The students then performed some Japanese songs and dances for us. Thank you girls, it was wonderful to see!

Thank you to Isla Harrington and Riya Tennis, student photographers, for capturing this event.

One thing the students have been getting up to this week is putiputi (flower) making, out of harakeke (flax). Māori traditions were followed and a kakakia (prayer) was said before the harakeke was cut, to thank Papatuanuku (earth mother), Ranginui (sky father) and our tupuna (ancestors). The girls then gave their finished putiputi to a friend, as the first one always has to be given away.
