Race Relations Day

Race Relations Day is always a very special day for our school community.
The theme for this year was,  I am Aotearoa/New Zealand…together we grow.  It expresses that everyone here in Aotearoa, no matter what their race or cultural background, belongs, and that there are many ways of being a New Zealander.  If we understand and appreciate our differences we can grow together into an Aotearoa New Zealand that is based on dignity and respect.
In the morning, we shared our culture with each other, learning languages, customs, songs and dances.
The children brought food from their culture and we had a shared lunch together. We all enjoyed tasting the delicious food!
In the afternoon we went to the hall for a special assembly. We sang songs and the children participated in a costume parade – they looked amazing!
It was wonderful to have so many families at school sharing their culture and enjoying the day.
Thank you Mrs Kapisi for organising such a fantastic day!
