SUPPORTING OUR TAUIRA:

Green Bay High School would sincerely like to thank Te Toi Uku - Crown Lynn Museum for providing our tauira with free tickets to watch the play 'The Handlers' last month.

This trip provided a valuable opportunity for our Māori and Pasifika tauira to engage with cultural themes and perspectives in a meaningful way.

‘The Handlers' (16 May - 2 June) was based on a whānau of Māori women working at the Crown Lynn factory who take time off work to attend a tangihanga, putting their jobs on the line when production lines ground to a halt.

DID YOU KNOW there is a wonderful world of Crown Lynn history, knowledge and treasure on our very own doorstep? Te Toi Uku Museum is located in Ambrico Place, New Lynn. The Museum opened in 2015 and holds a vast collection of objects relating to Crown Lynn and the early brick and pipe industries of West Auckland, including photographs and design archives.
