Te kapahaka o Parkvale Rōpū

Te Kapahaka o Parkvale Rōpū
Tēna koutou  Greetings everyone
Ko Parkvale tā tatou kura  Parkvale is our school
Ko te kaupapa o te tū, he maumahara ki ngā hoia ANZAC i whawhai  mō ō tātou whenua i te pakanga tuatahi o te ao.
The theme of our performance  today is to commemorate the ANZAC’s and all those who fought for our country.
Kia pai tā koutou mātakitaki mai  We hope you enjoy our performance.
Tēna koutou, Tēna koutou, Tēna koutou katoa


This year Parkvale sent two 60-strong kapahaka groups to the Ngati Kahungunu kapahaka festival held at Richmond School last week. It was our privilege as teachers, tutors, parents and whanau to witness a stunning performance from both groups. Each group demonstrated PRIDE, PASSION and PERFORMANCE-PLUS. Ka rawe ō mahi tāmariki ma!

Grandparent/ Koroua/Kuia Descriptions

For the first 4 weeks of this term, Room 10 and 11 had the task of compiling a biography about a grandparent/koroua/kuia. This was their opportunity to interview, construct a timeline and then write a description of a grandparent as seen through their eyes. Here are just a few examples of some wonderful pieces of work. Please visit your child's blog to see more.
