MAGIC moments as #tTEDxChCh begins....

Woohoo here we are... on site at the Aurora Centre, Burnside High School, Christchurch.
The countdown is over, the day is here...
Welcoming us!
Welcomed to Christchurch...
Welcomed to the house of learning to enjoy the delicacy of learning, sharing of kai rangitaira, sharing the skill, the wisdom of our fine speakers today!
Our role - to teach, to nurture, to lead our young people into tomorrow!  We need leniency, trust, hop and above all we need to love.
We are striving for a world free of violence, promoting peace and making the most of every moment given to us...
Karakia, blessing, word for us all...
Welcome from Kaila!
Acknowledgement to band - Kentucky Fried Children
Acknowledgement to all of the amazing sponsors who make today possible!

Here we are today, to think, to dream, to discover... to soak up the learning, to create new pathways, 
It's up to us the gems we take away!
What touchstones will we take away?  What better realities can we imagine?
Listen to the people before we go and try to create solutions...
The most courageous act still 'to think for yourself, out loud' Coco Chanel 
Yay, Petra Bagust welcomes us... 
Be open to the concept of change, doing something different...
Step outside your comfort zone... do something different - talk to someone new, 
Love the possible challenge of drinking the value of your ticket in caffeine - even I couldn't cope with that....
Confronting ideas - we welcome you today... 
Christchurch - we live in a city of two tails...
We have sunshine and storm,
We have construction and destruction,
We have everything right here...
Eat and feast together with hearts and heads as well as our bodies!
WE MUST have a good time today - that is assured...
Time for first speaker....
