The memorial assembly

This year, we had a very special assembly. One of the things that made it special is that we spent half of it inside, talking about the Christchurch incident that happened in two Mosques. Then we went outside, to plant a kowhai tree. If you don't know what a kowhai tree, it is a tree that is native to New Zealand. It is even on our uniform logo. When we were outside, one person would represent their culture. There are many people who joined this rare opportunity, such as students, teachers and the principal, Mrs Peterson. There were other surprises too. One person in each class put the card for the people who survived and helped. Because in the morning we made cards for the people in lock down. We also sang 3 songs together, holding hands. It was a bit unusual since we don't normally do that, in fact that was my it was my first time doing it.
