Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori at our kura has been full of activities from waiata/poi and Māori games workshops, to Kī o Rahi inter-whānau competitions and guessing the number of Lollies in the jar (in Te Reo Māori! ). There has also been a hāngi lunch for the school and parāoa Parai (fried bread) for kaiako. And on Rāpare, some of our ākonga perform at Ormiston Mall.

Ngā mihi maioha ki a koutou katoa i whakanuia ai i te tekau tau o Te Wiki o te Reo Māori. Ahakoa he iti, he pounamu, kia kaha te reo Māori.

Heartfelt thanks to everyone who celebrated 50 years of Māori Language Week. Though it may seem small, our language is a true treasure. Keep giving it a go.
