Whare Hauora Blessing

Panmure Bridge School is the home of New Zealand's first Medicube. The purpose of this new building is to make sure that children are fit for school and that they get a sense of focus so that they do not worry about getting sick. Our nurses will carry on doing a good job and making sure we are healthy. Like every new building at Panmure Bridge School the Maori blessing took place early in the morning and as we are in kapahaka, we were asked to perform a waiata and represent our school. Our waita was He Honore which was a nice soft waiata that we sang to with just an acoustic guitar. We were all proud of our efforts and it was a honour to partake in this event. The Kaumatua went around the medicube blessing the building in Maori. We all followed the visitors into the medicube looking at the space the health nurses will be working in.
