Getting involved
I show leadership because I get involved in a variety of activities such as guitar, school band, Kapa Haka and Choir. I enjoy participating in a variety of activities around the school, it gives me the opportunity to get to know other students around the school, especially the Kakano team. These activities also allow me the opportunity to express my love of arts and culture outside of the class room. I look forward to my continued involvement at school over the next 2 years.

KAPA HAKA
Today I had Kapa Haka I showed respect while Matua Rihari was telling us what order our items went in for the show. We kept going over the actions and Whakataka te Hau until we got them all right. We learnt a new song I really enjoyed it. It is to do with our school. I consistently show leadership because I turn up on time for Kapa Haka every week, I try my best with all the songs and actions that we do and I go home and practice the songs. At home I help my brother with the actions and give him some feedback on what I thought he did good and what he can improve on.

On Thursday I had guitar with Mr McCallum, we had a bit of spare time before my lesson began so I helped him to put way the instruments. Then we started by tuning our guitars. He taught me a song called ' Let Her Go' which I really wanted to learn. I played it on the Guitar and Mr McCallum played it on the piano. I really enjoy my lessons and have made a lot of progress so far this year playing the guitar.
