On Friday, Government House hosted 300 tamariki from Mt Cook School for a picnic as part of the school’s 150th birthday celebrations. Dame Cindy was treated to kapa haka, dance and musical performances by the school before cutting a birthday cake to mark the occasion.
Following the ceremony, tamariki enjoyed the beautiful Wellington day to take part in activities on the lawn including egg and spoon, three-legged and sack races. The day was topped off with a visit from Mr Whippy!
