Every year we celebrate with lots of experiences for our children. The children are able to have a hands on experience and help prepare in our celebrations. Our hangi is highly anticipated event from the beginning to the end of the day the focus is on working together, sharing mixing, making connections and caring for each other as we collaborate in the creation of a delicious feast and experience.At the heart of our hangi is the Te Ao Maori principal of whanaungatanga. This experience provided the opportunity for The children to explore practices, stories traditions and customs of the Maori culture. Through hands on experiences and going to Whakarewarewa the children are  able to make connections with the community and the wider world.
