This past week has been Cook Islands Maori Language Week 2020 (2-8 August).
This years theme was "Kia pūāvai tō tātou Reo Māori Kūki ‘Āirani i Aotearoa" which in English means "That the Cook Islands Māori language may blossom throughout New Zealand."
Here we have Year 13 student Leonard (Lenny) Varu featuring in this short video greeting us and sharing his love for corned beef!
Lenny comes from Arorangi in the Cook Islands and joined us at St Kevin's College last year. Lenny has fitted in well at both school and hostel life, and is a crowd favourite amonst his peers and teachers. Lenny is also a talented rugby player and is in the school 1st XV.
Pākau Lenny!
