Singing (Maori)
Maori welcome
Welcome to everyone.
Thanks to everyone who's put in a vast amount of work to make this possible.
It's actually a really rich and wonderful gathering with lots and lots of stuff happening.
Part of the theme today is connecting.
I think one of the greatest understandings people can achieve is to be aware that we are all connected.
Everything is connected. And the problems we have in the world are when people start to believe that's not the case.
As soon as you get back to connectedness things starts to flow. It's really important.
And from our point of view part of the connecting is about resilience for a community,
for the school and the community, and I think gathering together, working together is vitally important.
So today is a day of celebration and I hope you have a great time.
Welcome again. Thank you.
