Tena koutou
Ko Kannikun tōku ingoa
Nō Thailand ōku tīpuna
Kei te noho au ki Tamaki Makaurau
As a kaiako in Early Childhood Education, my "why" is to include Tikanga and Te Reo Maori in my teaching philosophy and to respect Tangata Whenua and Te Tiriti o Waitangi. Te Reo is such a beautiful language and it is a very important part of Aotearoa New Zealand. It is unique! Especially the waiata always brings tears to my eyes.
