Whaea Amy

Our Kuia Whaea Amy was our special guest at Assembly on Friday, she is leaving Tokoroa to live with her family in Australia. Whaea has played an important role at Tokoroa Intermediate over the years - as a te reo teacher, kapa haka tutor and supporter (we can't forget her Maori bread at the Marae), as a kuia for Noho Marae and last but not least for instructing countless children in the art of making harakeke putiputi. The Forest View Kapa Haka group joined us to farewell her and the school performed the Haka Ko Tokoroa for her. The highlight of the assembly was the beautiful waiata Kowhai and her friends sang for her.
Nga mihi nui.. we will miss you Whaea Amy!
