Our Powhiri for Mr Vasau

On Wednesday 23rd July we had a magnificent powhiri. We did it to introduce and celebrate our new principal. His name is Mr Vasau. First of all a lady called in the visitors and the whole school did a waiata. The visitors all walked up on to the stage. They were from Holy Family school in Wellington. Then there were some speeches and the Kapa Haka group and the Samoan group sang. They did speeches too and they sang a waiata. When Mrs Sheridan-Smith and Madeline gave Mr Vasau a lolly lei the Kapa Haka boys got up and did an amazing haka to welcome him. Mr Vasau gave a little speech and then all the adults went out to the staffroom and we went back to class. Welcome to Rowandale School Mr Vasau!
