| Pae Tuteru is the principal of Nikao Maori
school in Rarotonga and came here on a " twin schools"
program by the goverment over thereto come herte to
get ideas for his school and to teach us Cook Islands
cultural dances songs and actions and even haka.
Pae selected a group of people to be in his cultural
club we had 2 weeks to learn a whole lot of dances and
songs because we were going to have a preformance at
school assembly. We were all equipped with a shell necklace
and 2 senior boys had to wear a grass shirt and full
costume. They also had to do a mihi in maori and Cook
Island Maori.
I think we all agree that having pae here was a great
thing and every one will miss him , having him here
was really benifcial. |
