"MY WHANAU/FAMILY"

I think that Tamaki Whanau/Family means to the people who lived in Tamaki(student,teacher,staff) and i think  the reason why students and staff at our school described as a family because school(Tamaki College) is a another home for students and teachers and stuff to learn more about ourselves and because the teachers and stuff is like a parents to us student ,and student is like brothers and sisters.I also think that because school( Tamaki College)is like a place where we learn more about our ancestry and of-course we could also know our bloodline as well so that's why.
