TE HINENGA MET THE PRIME MINISTER
Past pupil and Student Council leader Te Hinenga Te Hemi, visited Waitangi where she was introduced to Jacinda Ardern, the Prime Minister of New Zealand.
In 2017 Te Hinenga won a national speech competition and was presented with a taonga and a trophy. She also received a trip for herself and her family to visit the Waitangi Treaty Grounds.
Te Hinenga's highlights were not only meeting the Prime Minister but also dining with Jacinda and Clark at the top table, being part of the dawn ceremony, watching the waka come in, being treated to breakfast (cooked by Jacinda and members of parliament) as well as being invited to parliament.
