O
n June 5th 2009 the Year 9’s, Matua
Dawson, Whaea Kimai, Ms
Johnston, and Whaea Reg went to
Auckland to the StarDome.
We arrived safely and waited for
the other schools to come out of the
building before we could go in.
It was interesting that we saw a
couple of girls wearing a school uniform
similar to Ngaruawahia.
Inside the dome we were
entertained by the whole universe and
where certain planets and stars were in
the Solar System.
The show we watched was
Matariki themed and we learnt a lot
more about this cluster of stars. We then
moved into the conference room where
we learned about the world spinning, and
why there are different seasons and
much more.
After lunch we headed up to what
was once One Tree Hill. We were
informed of the history of why this
particular hill is so important to the
Auckland area.
Once at the bottom of the hill we
boarded the bus and headed home.
We would like to acknowledge
Solid Energy for their continued support
of our Matariki experience by
contributing to the cost of transport.
Nga mihi nui ki a kotou katoa.
