Powhiri for TBHS Newcomers

By TBHS | Posted: Wednesday February 13, 2019

Friday 1st February saw our new staff and students warmly welcomed to the school with a very special powhiri.

 Supported by Whaea Ani Haua, Whaea Sharon Melrose, Kaumatua (Joseph) Hohepa Holland and Matua Victor we followed the process of gathering newcomers into the fold of Timaru Boys’ High School where they were welcomed by the Rector, Mr Nick McIvor, and the rest of the school community, with speeches focusing strongly on new beginnings and acquisition of knowledge.

We are appreciative of the support offered to us from our local tangata whenua and proud of our students who supported kōrero by singing waiata beautifully outside the newly renovated whare entranceway.
