WOW! What a fabulous start to the Warriors post Covid-19 season in Australia. The game against the Dragons was awesome to watch and Te Waka Ako are very happy we are supporting them and connecting with them in 2020.Back when we were in lockdown and were distant learning through Google Meets, Te Waka Ako had an awesome opportunity to connect with the Warriors quarantine camp in Australia.
One of the players, Chanel Tavita-Harris came into a google meet and answered our questions. Two of the Community Coordinators (Georgia and Petrece) for the Warriors set it up and introduced the discussion and question and answer session. Georgia is a league player as well, playing for the Warriors women team and the NZ Kiwi Ferns. It was an amazing opportunity for everyone.
The students were given an activity to create a raft of questions toask Chanel about being in lockdown, his background, being a sportsman and his dreams for the future.
Many students were keen to field questions and had thoughtful ideas of what to ask. The call was super interesting and everyone was very keen to create signs to encourage them in training and in the start of their season. A transcript of the answers is linked below.

Hey Te Waka Ako,
ReplyDeleteSuch a special opportunity to be part of. I really enjoyed reading the questions you came up with, and interesting answers that Chanel had. There were some really funny questions and answers. I was fascinated with his answers for the different lockdown related questions. It's an eye opener hearing how some people have experienced Covid-19 related situations.
Well done to the Warriors for a much deserved win over the weekend.
