Course on Maori Life

Over 25 teachers from Mokau to Opunake attended a week-long course on Maori life conducted at the Taranaki Museum.

Wood carving, stick and string games, action songs and poi-making were some of the topics covered, and several field trips were made to Maori pas in the area.

Mr Rigby Allan, the museum director, said that the course had been so successful it was hoped it could be continued next year.
