Showing mafana – care and love

‘For those fatigued following the floods, may you lean on the strength of loved ones to carry you into another day.’

To help be that strength and wanting to show mafana – care and love – for people who had suffered during Cyclone Gabrielle, Holy Family School, Porirua held a non-uniform day. Students were asked to gift a gold coin.

‘For those fatigued following the floods, may you lean on the strength of loved ones to carry you into another day.’

To help be that strength and wanting to show mafana – care and love – for people who had suffered during Cyclone Gabrielle, Holy Family School, Porirua held a non-uniform day. Students were asked to gift a gold coin. We raised $437 which we donated to Kidscan. Kidscan are wonderful supporters of our school and we hope this money can go to a school in the areas affected by Cyclone Gabrielle. Our alofa and aroha go out to all who have been affected. 

Holy Family School staff got in on the act and wore uniform for the day, while students wore non-uniform. Words and photo: Suzanne Goodin, Principal
