Students from Bayfield High School raising money for a cultural trip put on a community hāngi for parents, peers and anyone else who wanted a special Monday lunch.

The hāngi, organised and cooked by  whānau students, was put on to help fundraise towards exploring and strengthening their understanding of te ao Māori and to learn more about the cultural activities and experiences that are important to them.
