Balmacewen Mihi Whakatau.
By Anna Garthwaite | Posted: Wednesday February 22, 2017
What a wonderful experience on Friday with the Year 7's being welcomed into Balmacewen by the Year 8's.
The Year 7's have now officially been welcomed into Balmacewen and now can regard themselves as Tangata Whenau. The mihi whakatau haka performed by Year 8's was awe inspiring and raised hairs on the neck! The Whaikorero was meaningful and wonderful and well supported by the waiata. The sharing of kai, to break the tapu went down a treat and there was a real sense of a family coming together. Rooms 9 and 14 greeted each other with respect through the hongi and sharing of kai.
