The Powhiri

At the beginning of each school year we have a Powhiri to welcome new staff and new pupils. Those of us who are only five are the Manuhiri and we are welcomed to Richmond School. Those of us who are six, have already been welcomed and we are Tangata whenua. Today we all took part in the Powhiri.

Here are the Manuhiri waiting outside the hall.

Mr Brenton is wearing his korowai. It was made many years ago by a Junior class at our school.

Here are the Tangata whenua singing a waiata.

This is Mr Higgins, one of our Deputy Principal's speaking.

These boys are accepting the koha from the Manuhiri.

Mr Brenton is welcoming the new staff.

Mr Brenton put the korowai on each of the new staff.
