00:00Mum, please, can you help me warm up?

00:04Okay, breathe.

00:19We need to show that you're at least trying to make your situation better.

00:22Or they're going to take your benefit, you're going to lose your power,

00:24poo your pants and then I have to come clean it up.

00:27It's yuck.

00:30At Francis, our standards are extremely high.

00:33The person we're after needs to be a little bit more like us.

00:37When you walked into the interview, I thought,

00:39now here's someone that can offer my kids something different.

00:43That's what I came to discuss.

00:46I'm starting a school choir.

00:48You want to rub your hands together like this.

00:51You can tell me what choir's about.

00:52Singing?

00:53Yeah.

00:54Pātea, pātea, toto pā.

01:00Okay, that's a work in progress.

01:04If you disrespect the master, you exercise.

01:06Your power.

01:07This is a teaching institution.

01:10Otherwise you'd get the jandal.

01:12With love, of course.

01:14I wanted to tell you guys about a national choir competition called the Big Sing.

01:18I think you should do it.

01:21What is this?

01:22These are a bunch of spoiled rich kids that have everything they could ever want.

01:25You don't know them.

01:27You can't just throw some Sunday school group together and sing kōng pō ia.

01:31You felt that I could give these kids something.

01:34This is that something.

01:36I want you to promise me that you will not stop singing.

01:41Focus on the breaths around you.

01:43The space between us.

01:45It connects us.

01:47To our choir, our family, to our community.

01:52She's now gone.

01:54I see her in every kid that you've ever taught.
