Scott Point School Kapa Haka and Ukelele groups recently wowed their Ryman neighbours from the Keith Park Retirement Village with an outstanding performance of songs, music and dance items to celebrate the month of Matariki together. The two hundred members from the school ranged in age from 5- to 12-year-olds and had been practising for the performance throughout the term. During the ukulele performance, they were joined by a staff member and a resident from Rymans.
The gathering was concluded with group members joining the residents for afternoon tea and sharing stories. Scott Point School and the residents of Keith Park Retirement Village have been building a great relationship with residents supporting the school crossing at the busy Clark Road entrance to the park, listening to children reading every week, sharing in their annual ANZAC Remembrance event and sharing stories from the past. They hope to share more events to continue the relationship and help build a strong new community at Scott Point in Hobsonville.
