 Keelan: Tūkaha,

When Ka pioioi e starts , tama mā walk back and kōtiro mā walk forward

Ka pioioi e tohu aroha haukāinga 

This swaying dance shows the love of your home-town people.
E hoki mai rā Kia kite atu i tō iwi e.

You've come back home, to see your people.
E rotarota ana E katakata ana mai rā.
There is gesturing and laughing with joy at your return,
Pūkana whetero mai I te ihi ā ō mātua.

Eyes popping and tongues thrusting from the energy of those performing.
Kia kite atu ano i tō ataahua ai panapana

I see again your beauty gleaming there
Pupuhi ai e te hau Kapohia āku roimata. 

caressed by the wind, my tears are snatched away.

Ka pioioi he tohu aroha haukāinga. 2x
This fluttering dance shows your home-town people's love.

Hawke: Our last item is our 'Pride' song with a few more verses from our Nīkau Production.

P.R.I.D.E.

Verse 1
Young students, there's a place you can go,
At Parkvale, there's so much you can know
Work together, always giving your best,
Showing kindness, we're ahead of the rest.

You can learn, every single day,
With a smile, in your own special way.
When you try, and you never give in,
That's when all of the learning begins!

Chorus
It's fun to spell P.R.I.D.E.!
It's the way we learn every day!
P.R.I.D.E.!
Helping others on the way!
P.R.I.D.E.!
Come on everybody and say,
P.R.I.D.E.!
We live our values every day!

Verse 2
P is for Personal Best each day,
Giving effort in every way.
R means Respect and Responsibility
Looking after you and me.

I is Integrity, honest and true,
Doing what's right in all that you do.
D is Determination, don't give in,
Keep on trying, you're sure to win!

E is for Enjoyment, every day,
Having fun while we work and play.
Together we are proud and strong,
Living P.R.I.D.E. the whole year long!
