Hi-viz - future christchurch

Hi Viz is a five part series about the Canterbury rebuild - for kids, by kids. The cool thing is that it features our very own Lilly & Esther. I think that you will agree that they do a brilliant job. Kei reira girls! Take a look at the videos below.

rakatahi awards 2014

The Rakatahi Awards have been run by Te Puna Wānaka (CPIT), with support from the CPIT Foundation, as part of their vision of ‘whanau transformation through education’. This vision promotes individual Māori and Pasifika success through education as a key to wider social change and cultural empowerment.

Māori intermediate and secondary school students from around Canterbury are recognised for their outstanding achievements. The awards acknowledge excellence in leadership, Te Reo Māori, sporting performance, academic achievement and commitment to Tikanga.

Ōpāwa School is very proud to announce that our very own Te Hinenga was not only nominated for Kanohi Kai Mātārae (Excellence in Leadership) but was also the overall winner in her category, Tohu Poutama (Year 7 & 8 Excellence in Leadership).

Congratulations, what a huge achievement.

Te Hinenga now moves onto the Supreme Awards which includes attending an award ceremony. Good luck.

Wendy worked with a selection of senior students preparing our sculpture and creating some divisions, so each class had an area to decorate. The senior artists then put on finishing touches and then Wendy and Amy varnished it for protection.

The sculpture will be collected from the school at the end of October, for display. The completed giraffe sculpture will be displayed in the Cashmere Library over November and December. It will then be given back to the school for us to keep.

Well done to all of those people involved. The results are stunning.
