About Me

Kia ora my name is Ever Lynn Mary Hall I am a young Maori girl currently attending Bay of Islands College. I am in the Reo Rua unit and am getting better with standing and speaking my natural culture Maori.

As a learner it takes me a while to get into what subject we’re learning about. I enjoy playing the drums and guitar in my option class witch is Music. My challenges are to interact with everybody in most classes. My goal for the year is to build my behaviour up as good as I can for each class.

For my goals in my life is to become a vet and help injured animals and give them away to good homes. Before I get to that stage I have to study 7-9 years and pass my NCEA levels [tests].

Kiwi Culture

Pounamu is a New Zealand greenstone that is typically found down on the west coast of the South Island in rivers that hold very cold waters in New Zealand. Due to the strength of this type of stone its needed a strong diamond tip drill piece to work and carv with this tonga because of how much strength it holds beneath it. Pounamu can be used as weapons decorations jewelry and gifts that you can only by for people and not yourselves. So prized as this native maori treasure it has become an aeirloom passed down from generation to generation. You can find pounamu in souvenir shops in necklaces and bracelets maori weapons and much much more.
