Today at Otaki College a very special Event was held. The Ceremony was for special people that died. Whaea Destine, Whaea Maha and Oj led the Karanga/Powhiri, a Karanga is a welcoming call.
Mr Fraser led the service for the ceremony, Some of the Official quests were, Captain Lewis Robinson - New Zealand Merchant Navy Association, Captain Roger blake - New Zealand Shipping Company, Captain Tony Date - Durham Association, Commodore Melissa Ross RNZN - Deputy Cheif of Navy
Later on Wreaths were laid here is two special people that laid wreaths, Ms Christine Papps representing Mayor of Kapiti Coast District for the citizens of Kapiti
And Mr Rawiri Rikihana representing Ngā hapū o Ōtaki on behalf of Ngā hapū o Ōtaki.
I enjoyed the Ceremony because it was for very special people that took their time to come to O.C college
