Lā Pilina is a senior legacy project from Kamehameha Schools Hawaiʻi senior Kaluhikaua Kaʻapana. She designed an event to help build stronger relationships between two Native Hawaiian schools.Preschool students from Pūnana Leo o Hilo were invited to the KS Hawaiʻi campus to experience a curriculum designed and executed by students in the ʻōlelo Hawaiʻi 5 program at KSH.The event recognizes the importance of integrating Hawaiian language and culture into our education and how building a relationship between a Hawaiian immersion school and a Native Hawaiian school is beneficial to learning of the haumāna in both schools.
Kamehameha Schools’ policy is to give preference to applicants of Hawaiian ancestry to the extent permitted by law.
