School Children
Kia Ora whanau,
Over the last couple of weeks I've had tamariki (kids) from all ages walking past my whare (house) teasing my dogs from the other side of the fence and throwing rubbish on my lawn.
This afternoon, I had a group of intermediate or college children throw something at my house. I went outside and saw it was just a plastic water bottle, however when they walked away to the end of the street they all turned around and cheekily waved at me so I ran after them to return the bottle and have a korero. I asked one of them to make sure that they don't throw things at my house again. These are the same tamariki that threw a tree stump at a bus yesterday.
Whanau, please remind kids to respect other people's property when they are out and about. We can look after your tamariki if we see them on our streets as long as they respect us too.
Thank You :-)
