Trevor Barrett from Waitara New Zealand posted on 2 Jul 2018 5:01:13 PM You guys are amazing I see how you communicate with each other while on the different experiences you have. You are always thoughtful of each other and give support where needed. I enjoy the times when you come gardening and watching you all develop as young people.
Clair Tart from Waitara New Zealand posted on 2 Jul 2018 4:45:59 PM A celebration of who we are what we can do and what makes us awesome this film is an exploration of what special education actually means. It is a declaration of who we are and what makes every single one of us special in our own awesome way. A lesson that the rest of the world should embrace.The intent of our documentary is to show all the great things our students with disabilities can do. It is intended that peoples perceptions of disabilities will change so that they celebrate and embrace the exceptional abilities of these special students. This is a celebration of what our kids achieve every single day - the big things and the small things.httpswww.focusonability.com.auFOAfilmsHe_Waka_Eke_Noa_1466.html We are a group of students aged 13 to 20 from Waitara High School Taranaki New Zealand. We all have medical physical and learning difficulties and most of us have multiple challenges every day. We are resilient in everything we do and we know we can succeed in everything we do. At Waitara High School we belong to one big whanau who we can always rely on.

Stacy Brown from Waitara New Zealand posted on 20 Jun 2018 7:05:29 PM Well Done to the Waitara High School for the Clip to show that Even the Disabled can achieve anything by teaching them until it is time for them to venture out once they leave school....I know a couple of the Teenagers in the Clip as well as seen them at the Aquatic Centre one time Enjoying themselves - to Learn while having fun is what its about team effort as a whole. Congratulations
