2 weeks ago the whole school had to watch a group of young students from Arataki do their end of year Arataki march out.The crowd sat in silence waiting for the parade to start.Then suddenly a group of students marching,backs straight looking a bit staunched,Then a group of Arataki students appeared from the distance with matching outfits.Then 3 leaders shouting out their commands and the group of people doing the commands with straight arms and backs,Arms swing up and down like wind mills in the wind.Then their families started clapping and shouting out their daughters or sons names.Then towards the end of the march out they formed 2 lines and marched to the middle of the parking and 2 head commanders and our principal started handing them badges.Then the Arataki performed a haka for the closing of the march out.Strong taka hia(Stamp)and pukana(Facial expression) with eyes right open and hands slapping legs with big red marks.Then they threw there hats up and the parade was finished.
