Pou Ceremony
Pou Ceremony.
On Thursday the whole school met together with the Muritai whanau group, Kaumatua and Kokiri to celebrate and welcome back two pou into the playground.
They have been mended and shifted from the sandpit area to the playground outside the main school. The pou represent links to the earth, the sky, Tane Mahuta and give strength to the school.
We are very happy to have their comforting presence at Muritai School.
Mr Bird gave a speech in Maori and we sang the school song.
The kaumatua told us we can go and touch the pou and that will give us strength.
