2020 Inaugural Inter-Whanāu Singing Competition

Our first ever inter-whanāu singing competition! Congratulations to all of our students and staff for their sustained effort over the term - what a great afternoon seeing everyone performing. With the singing, chanting and cheering, the festive mood was strong, and whanāu spirit raging. Great to see full involvement, and always a pleasure to welcome families in to enjoy the performance with.

They sung and they sung and the Blake Whānau won!

Not only is Ronan in the New Zealand Schools’ Debating Team for 2020, he has been awarded the Rosemary Dixon Cup for Most Promising Speaker 2020.

These are both massive accomplishments, and we are extremely proud of your efforts and look forward to seeing you compete throughout the rest of the year.
