Water Safety

Children who are between 1 and 4 years can drown or get injured if they are left unsupervised.

Safety Tips:

Never leave your child unattended around water.

Empty all tubs, buckets, containers and wading pools.

Life Jacket:

Make sure that you wear a life jacket to keep you safe from drowning.

Junior Warriors

A few days ago, we had a Rugby League Tournament  organised by the Junior Warriors Team from our school. They were not the real Junior Warriors but they were just like them.
After setting up the field, the referees, score keepers and the timekeeper got ready. There were 5 games played altogether and there were five teams. The teams were  Bulldogs, Rabbitohs, Broncos, Warriors and Junior Warriors. Each team went head to head and everyone had a lot of fun.

On a bright Wednesday morning ,25th of March 2015 all the Manaiakalani cluster schools went to Point England to welcome the people from Hawaii that traveled here to New zealand.  This event was held to remember the amazing skills of our ancestors, their courage and their determinations and the way they provided for their families.

There were 2 Waka's called Hourua Hokule'a and Hikianalia. When they arrived , a small speed boat brought them to shore. First we went and sat down on the grass when it was still wet. The school leaders did a haka and a song to welcome them. Then there were Maori speeches done and we had to sing another song repeatedly.An item was also done by Point England school followed by a few more songs. There were over 2000 students and adults at the event.

Finally at the end we had to go and give them high fives and introduced ourselves as our farewell. Then we all walked back to school and everyone felt so tired.
