Earlier this week, Year 9 students learned our school Haka, as part of their Orientation. It was great to see everyone taking pride in whanaungatanga, and gaining a sense of belonging to Green Bay High School. Below are the words of He Angitū Ngātahi E, written & composed by past pupil Tyler Hireme (He Taonga Māori honours recipient (2021, 2022). Ask your child to show you the actions!
