The mighty Tōtara tree stands tall and proud. It protects those smaller than itself. In ancient times it was used to build waka that carried hundreds of warriors and build whare to protect people from the earths elements.
As the team gifted with the name tōtara, we take on much of it’s meaning. We protect those who are younger than us and we support others by encouraging them, and being active role models in our kura. We are the leaders of KNS.
We've had a great start to the term! We have began our unit "Te Ao Kori", where we are looking at some traditional Māori games including taiaha, rakau and poi. Our students were engaged and seemed to enjoy experimenting!
