During Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, the school hall was decorated with bright posters and student artwork. A group of Year 8 students presented a short assembly to encourage others to use everyday Māori phrases. They demonstrated greetings, simple instructions, and the names of local places. The principal said the event was significant because it helped the whole school understand the importance of language in identity and culture. Afterwards, several students signed up for a lunchtime pronunciation practice session.
