It is nearly 50 years old and was carved in Rotorua. We're forging telationships with iwi so that we may be gifted a story for the two figures and two taniwha and then put it in the entrance yo our school office.
We'll also be studying the story of Pakuranga and tge Maori history of our whenua.
How lucky are we to have this beautiful waharoa gifted to us? Some news is that I have had a short korero with our iwi - Ngai Tai ki Tamaki who are looking forward to developing a strong relationship with us at Sunnyhills. Good relationships take time and we will be able to support our local iwi initiatives to help bring the native birds back to our whenua and learn about our people too! It will be a great learning experience for us all to really know our people and history of Pakuranga.
