Students and staff watched a significant New Zealand movie this weekend: Whale Rider.
Thanks to our dear neighbor Simon for lending us his "proper movie screen," we got to watch the film on the big clear screen, as our viewing was accompanied by the hum of cicada, crickets, and the faint calls of the Morepork on the hills. This was one of the first chances for students to be exposed to some of the contemporary cultural obstacles that the Maori community is facing today.
We've also been sneaking in late night episodes of Planet Earth - awesome! Don't tell our parents!
