The bell rang loud and us year 9's assembled in the auditorium.Waiting and rehearsing for the powhiri. Soon we were walking down an aisle hearing the fierce haka by the seniors welcoming us in the Marae. At last we all sat down and soon enough the HeadMan said a speech in Maori. Then came songs and other Speakers welcoming us year 9's, new students and new staff members. We gave our speech to the rest of the school and ended it off with a song. Right after that we all went and had a big feed/breakfast for a treat. I felt already welcome. We finished it off with a song and got back to our usual school day.
The powhiri was such a welcoming and enjoyable event.
