Mr G’s final ‘HOME’ artwork “Kotahitanga” embodies the essence of Waitangi Day
"Kotahitanga is a word that gets used so flippantly these days and I really don't want it to lose the power and mana that the word carries." - Mr G, speaking at the mural presentation of his latest artwork.
Thanks to the staff, students, friends and whānau who joined us today for the unveiling of Mr G's mural, "Kotahitanga", to Matua Tamati for the karakia. Mihi to Jake Angus for presenting our koha to Mr and Mrs G too

Poll: Do you think NZ should ban social media for youth?
The Australian Prime Minister has expressed plans to ban social media use for children.
This would make it illegal for under 16-year-olds to have accounts on platforms including TikTok, Instagram, Facebook and X.
Social media platforms would be tasked with ensuring children have no access (under-age children and their parents wouldn’t be penalised for breaching the age limit)
.
