Pupils, teachers pay their respects

Wakatipu High School pupils observed two minutes of silence yesterday before gathering on the school field to send a message to the Muslim community and those in Christchurch affected by last week's terrorist attack.

Teacher Lucy Ford said "kotahitanga" was the Maori word for the school's value of inclusion.
