Let peace transcend upon us all

Let us all cherish one another

Let us be calm

Awaken the mind

​

To learn, to create, to share

Within everything we do

​

To inspire and manifest success

Stand strong and true

​

Join and bind together, let it be done

Kia tau te rangimārie kia tātou katoa

Kia maimoa ngā mana, ngā reo o tēnā

Kia mauri tau, Hihiritia te hinengaro

​

Kia ako, kia hanga kia tohatoha

I roto i ngā mahi katoa

​

Kia eke panuku kia eke tangaroa

(Tūturu whakamaua, kia tina) tina

(Haumi e, hui e) Tāiki e!

Adding Workspace to your Google Site

Google Drive Site Folder

Create a folder in your Google Drive to organise content that will be shared on your Google site.

​

• Set default permissions for this folder to anyone with the link can view.

​

• Subfolders and content in these folders will adopt these permissions by default. This saves time and ensures all content can be viewed on your site.

​

• Content will only be accessible when you add navigation, embed or insert links from your site.

​

• Title sub-folders to align with pages and programmes of learning on your site.

​

Select destination folder prior to creating new docs or subfolders so they are automatically created in this folder.

Content can also be dragged and dropped to folders within your Drive.
