Returning students:

E parakitihi ana koutou i tō mihimihi/pepeha.  Practise your pepeha and mihi.  Take it home and see if your whānau have any more details for you to add in.  Choose a whakataukī to add in.  if you had one last year, choose a different one - this is a good way to grow the different ways you can introduce yourself.  Think about using a different beginning too. Email Whaea Kylie your updated mihimihi.

New Students: For some of our students, this will be new.  We will help them to create a visual mihimihi and add in their pepeha.  This is an opportunity for all student to develop a visual mihi for our wall in the whare.  Work with Whaea Kylie and make a copy of the slideshow beneath.
