OC Ceremony.

 At Otaki collage we had S.S Otaki ceremony For captain Lewis Robinson,Mr Mervyn Martin Ms Christine Papps,Mr Rawiri Rikihana, and other. Also two people that did the karanga was  whaea Maha and a student from Otaki collage . And Father Phil Cody had a job of talking to a lot of very important people for the  ceremony and he talked on a mic to the school and the people that came for the ceremony. And we welcomed the people in and sang a song for them that we were practising for the ceremony and it is called Ma wai ra. Then  Mr frazer stood up and talked on the mic  for a while about what happend  in the war some people died and just forgiving there lives and about the people that came for the ceremony. So we sang some important songs and stood up singing for a couple of hours. also A porwhiri is like a meeting for people to meet and something that could be important in it. Mana was a Flag bearer for the S.S Otaki. What I enjoyed was the Songs and it was Ma wai ra ,Ko Tenei Te wa.
