We are very proud to announce to families that we have nally raised enough money to purchase our KapaHaka Piu Piu after three years of school-wide fundraising together with grants received from Awarua Trustand Sky City. This will now complete our Kapa Haka Uniform which was designed and made last year.

The Piu Piu will now be ordered and they will be ready next year, we will have a formal blessing once they are

received. They take some time to make as they are all hand-made. We would like to say a huge thank you to

our school families and the wider community for supporting the fundraisers over the past three years; youreorts have been very much appreciated by our school.
