Yvette's Student Project

Here's an exciting and fund student project on Tahitian Dancing.  Staff assisted this student with her primary source who was invited to Hakipuu Learning Center for an interview.  Julie and Kaniala shared a short lesson on Tahitian dancing with the staff and students.  Everyone participated and had so much fun learning a little part of the Tahitian culture.  Here's a short video of Yvette's interview with Julie and everyone's participation in a Tahitian dance lesson.


"Maruru" thank you Julie and Kaniala for sharing with us.

Senior Student Hoike Night

Last night, Tuesday 5/5/10, was the first of three Hoike nights. Four of our senior students presented their year long project to the community. I was very impress with each of them. Of course all of them were very nervous, but very poise, confident and knowledgable of their topic.

Lauren started the night of with his project on "Heavy Equipment Certification and Effects on `Iwi Kupuna".

Kamalu did his project on "Physical Fitness: The Physical Aspect of Staying Fit"

Kendra's project was on "Film & Digital Photography"

Cameron ended the night on "Boat Building"

These senior students worked long and hard all year long on their projects and should be proud of their outcomes.  Kudos to last nights presenters and best wishes to the other senior students expected to present this wednesday and thursday.

Future of the World

Children ask many questions about many things. We adults need to take on the kuleana "responsibility" to not only tell them what is right from wrong, but teach them by example. We adults must do the right thing to set our children up for success in the future. Ma ka hana ka ike "learning is in the doing. Let's do the right thing and have our children do it too. THIS VIDEO TOUCH MY HEART. The famous saying of "Our children is the future of the world" is very close at hand.
