10.30pm, we're home but still on an absolute high from the last 24 hours π
I think Ive had every single emotion hit me since receiving Casez end of year report yesterday which far exceeded any of my expectations ππ
Today at parent/teacher there was a common theme, his growing confidence, hes worked hard in all subjects & hes ready for next year ππ
Results had just come in for his math's exam & his teacher was happy to let me know he had passed and with it gained another 10 credits ππ
I then headed over to help prep Tangaroa for the kapa haka house comp & I think this was the most precious part for me, putting the boys earrings in & their feathers in their hair.
When it came to Casez turn oml lost my $hit cried inside because it was such a special moment, I was so proud of him.
Us parents dont have the privilege of seeing any of the behind the scenes stuff that goes on to get these boys ready for house comps & they're only given 3 months to come up with a 20 minute bracket.
The seniors run the house comps, no teachers/parents involved. They are the tutors, composers & choreographers and what a epic job these young men do to pull off some amazing performances on stage.
Tangaroa did not fail to impress from the start to the finish of their bracket. They were stunning to watch from the cheeky eyebrow raises, to the harmonies, to their powerful haka they put their heart & soul into their performance and came away with the win today.
Tangaroa House Kapa Haka Champs for 2025 πππππ
PROUD AS!!!
Thank you to Casez big cousin Mark (Y13) who has guided Case thru HPC life these last 2 years & his mum (my cousin) for guiding me. W love you & we'll miss you's next year β€οΈ
Roll on prizegiving next weekend ππ
