We had another very successful fusion wānanga on 14-17 April. A total of 34 tamariki along with our kaiako, Miriama White and Shanita Mason also not forgetting our kaimahi Nelly Mason, Te Rua Mason, Caleb Robinson, Hamiria Hutana made our wānanga all the more successful.

We had the pleasure of welcoming the Department of Conservation and the Whitebait Connection Programme group to our wānanga for the week.

The Whitebait Connection (WBC) is a non-profit action based community conservation education programme offering concrete and specific ways in which all New Zealanders can come to understand and be involved in the future health of our local streams, rivers, lakes and wetlands.

Our tamariki really enjoyed the week learning more about the biodiversity of our waterways. We also had the pleasure of having Sampson Karst from Manu Media come along to help us document our week with a video of the week for our tamariki to deliver to our whānau on their performance day.

Our tamariki loved getting involved at the fusion wānanga.
