This is Mrs Karaka signing off. It has been a pleasure learning about Wairaka and her many stories.
To the staff and students of Owairaka: Be brave like Wairaka and stand up for what is right.
To my Room 17 students I will miss you, but do remember you are my last memory of Owairaka Primary School. You have taught me a lot about myself and have influenced my teaching career. Thank you.
To Te Whanau O Owairaka; my whanau, Ngaa mihi mahana ki a koutou mo o koutou tautoko e pa ana ki te kaupapa – te kaupapa nui ake, Te Reo. I sincerely thank the families who have been involved with the whanau for a long time, but also those who have shared a small, significant time with us. Without you the whanau would not have been so successful. We’ve had our ups and downs but we are fighters, just like our school tipuna, Wairaka.
In her words; ‘KIA WHAKATANE AU I AHAU‘
