Our Pepeha

We are learning how to say our Pepeha by knowing about our connections to our mountain, our river, our ocean, our canoe and our ancestors. We value parent support with our students learning about themselves and recording this information.

Please leave a comment if you have anything you wish to share about your family history that could be used in your child's pepeha.
