We are excited for Year 9 Kotahitanga Day on Thursday 26th February. This event is a day of fun and exciting team-building activities for our Year 9 students. Kotahitanga is a te reo Māori word which means unity, togetherness, and solidarity among people, and this is what we aim to foster in our Year 9s as they embark on their high school years at Rangitoto College. Students will participate in activities and competitions as a tutor class, accompanied by their Tutor Teacher and Year 13 Peer Support leaders. Students should attend school in non-uniform in the colour of their house (red, white, or blue). Students should leave laptops and valuable items at home, and bring their morning tea, lunch, water, and sunblock. (In the event of inclement weather, the scheduled Year 9 Kotahitanga Day will be postponed to the designated rain date-Monday 16 March).
