He Manukura 2014

It was a very proud moment having our students follow in the footsteps of our ancestors and do the karanga and whaikorero for our class when we were called onto the Manurewa marae. We are very lucky to have the support of our rangatira, who are the kaitiaki o te whare tipuna o Hua kaiwaka. Our students - Legacy, Merani and Te Uwhinga were our kai karanga and Isaiah did our whai korero. Nga mihi nui ki a koutou nga rangatira mo apopo. Later, Papa Toi spoke about the history of Te Manurewatanga o Tampahore, nga kaitiaki - Kaiwhare and Taramainuku, nga tipuna hoki - Tamapahure raua ko Tamapahore. We later went to the maunga - Matukutureia. Mauri ora ki te whei ao, ki te ao marama!

Pukana

I am looking forward to the many exciting activities the students will participate in during Term 4. Nga mihi nui to our awesome kaiako - Papa Kapi, Matua Tawera, Whaea Renee and Whaea Miriama. Our vision is for all students to be able to do the powhiri process from start to finish independently. We will be looking at Taonga puoro and the wero. We will be having marae noho too! Mauri ora!
