Graduation Day!

'EHARA TAKU TOA I TE TOA TAKITAHI ENGARI TE TOA TAKITINI'

'MY STRNGTH IS NOT THAT OF AN INDIVIDUAL BUT THAT OF THE MULTITUDES'

YAY!! Yes today was Graduation day, and as the whakatauki says, I couldn't have done it on my own. Here is a picture of some of the 2005 Graduating crew.

Don't we look good?! It was a very nerve wrecking morning, but well worth it, we graduated with all of the other courses from Te Wananga O Aotearoa, Papaioia Campus, and it was another lovely day in Palmerston North. I would like to thank all those people who put this whole thing together for all of the students. I don't know you all by name, but you all did a wonderful job. A special thanks also to the Whakairo crew, those that were graduating today, those that were unable to attend and those who have started their journey this year. We are all an extended whanau now, and without each other we wouldn't be able to achieve the strengths and knowledge that comes with our chosen vocation. KIA KAHA! Let's go hard, learn as much as we can, and do this all again next year!!
