Wow was the first word Positively Ponsonby students said walking into the Marae.
It was really hot as the students were welcomed onto the Orakei Marae. They stood quietly listening to a beautiful song from the whaea.
After moving into the marae the maori elders explained to the students about the history and how the maori people had arrived to the marae. After the students listened patiently the Kau Matua’s decided to show them around. First was the waka and then the tiki house. The students thought they were beautiful.
Sadly Rm1 and Rm17 had to go. They all said goodbye to the elders and hopped back on the bus. I’m coming back was the comment from most of the students.
