    Nau mai ki te Year 7 Ngā Toi

    Kia Ora Tātou

    Welcome to Art 2024~!

    The context for your start to the year in Water whānau is all about 'We are all in this together- He waka eke noa'. We will be creating a mixed media artwork which explores your identity and reflects your sense of belongingness to self, family and the community.

    I am looking forward to exploring the exciting world of Art with you all this year.
