Re-live the energy of our Centenary Celebration. Many, many, many past & present students & staff came together to celebrate 100 years of Ōpunakē High School in a weekend unlike any other – truly special. Massive thanks to James Aitken for capturing all the magic on film & photo. #legend He aha te mea nui o te ao? He tangata he tangata he tangata! What is the most important thing in the world? It is people it is people it is people!
