Blog of the Week: MAMAREI - Polyfest 2019

Have you ever been to Polyfest?? Well, On the 13th of March our whole

of team 5 got a chance to go to Polyfest.

Polyfest is a Pacific event held in Manukau, near A.U.T (Auckland University
Technology).

Polyfest is a place for kids to show other people who they are,
where they came from and what their heritage is.

For Polyfest a whole bunch of other schools were invited to this amazing event.

We had to pay $10 for the bus and for us to get in. We were
put in groups with parent helpers and teachers.

My mum and one of my aunts were one of the helpers. Me, my two older cousins,

my niece and my niece's friend were in a group together with my mum.

Kia pai te kotahi - Better together

Welcome back to 2019! The theme for us at Pt England School this year is Kia pai te kotahi - Better together.

Students from Team 5 had the chance to carry this theme into action by helping out our amazing sports teacher, Ms. Va'afusuaga on Friday afternoon. This weekend is the annual Weetbix Tryathalon that is hosted by Pt England School at Pt England Reserve. A bunch of Year 7 and Year 8 students from Room 2 worked hard in the hot sun to get all the sponsors signs up in ONE HOUR!  Awesome proof that we really do work BETTER TOGETHER! KIA PAI TE KOTAHI!
