Toku Pakihi

Kia ora, ko Jacque taku ingoa, nō te kura o Peowhairangi ahau.

E hiahia ana ahau ki te whakaatu ki a koutou ngā mahi kua oti e au ki roto taku karaehe Tikanga a- iwi. Ko taku tino kaupapa ko Toku Pakihi nātemea e whai wa ahau ki te whakapakiri i toku auahatanga. Ko ngā mea i ako ahau ko nga ahuatanga o te Rakahinonga, me te whakatairanga i toku ake Pakihi. Ki ōku whakaaro he mīharo tēnei kaupapa nāteamea ko tahi noihi te wiki hei whakaoti i tenei mahi. Ka waiho ki tēnei whakatauki hei whakaniko i tēnei pōhitanga āku, Ahakoa he iti he pounamu. Nōreira kei aku nui, kei aku rahi. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa.

Send it Challenge

 Our topic at the moment in Science is Forces and Motion. These 2 days we were given task to make a Catapult that would send a ping pong across the room. Although ours was last minute, it was really easy to make considering the equipment we were given. It was nerve racking when doing the final tests, but it was nice watching everyone's ping pong go the distance they went. 

My group: Tamarah, Ocean, Miria, and Me. 

NZ Entrepreneur

Our new task for Future Planning in Social Studies is researching a NZ Entrepreneur. We were asked to choose a well-known Entrepreneur in New Zealand and answer questions pertaining to their business and their business journey. I choose Season Mary Downs, who is a young entrepreneur and owns the Tukau Law Limited combined with Tukau Legacy clothing line.

Tukau Law Limited is a company that was launched on the 20th of October in Kaikohe and is a part of the Legal Service Industry. Their main focus is Legal for Maori and the community in general. 

Tukau Legacy is what she mainly became famous for, her clothing brand that have the words from both Te Tiriti o Waitangi and Te Whakaputanga o Nga Rangatira o Niu Tireni. The backstory of her clothes are “By wearing their words, we are able to continue their legacies”. 

Season has always been eager to help her community in any way she can, she contributes a portion of her funds that she gets from her company to the community with events such as the Menstrual Cup Fundraiser, food parcels to kaumatua kuia and organising community events such as Christmas functions.
