Matanganui Trip to the Square

On Friday 24th February we went with the rest of Matanganui to the Square in Palmerston North to investigate the history of the Square. Some of the things we found out were...
- Where the clock tower is now, use to be the train station.
- There is a memorial in the square to all those men and women who lost their lives during the great wars.
- There is a statue of Te Awe Awe who was a great Maori Leader who donated land to help develop        Palmerston North City
- There are 6 carved posts and 3 carved panels constructed in 1990 to honor the significance of the Maori name for the square, TE MARAE-O-HINE.
