Tēnā koutou e ngā mokopuna mā.

I tēnei wiki, ko te wiki o te reo Māori 2025. Kāore au i tipu ake i te reo Māori, engari, ko tētahi o ō māua ko Mike whāinga nui mō ā tātou tamariki ki te pakeke ake i ō tātou reo rangatira. I started learning in 2023 at Te Tohu Paetahi, Nōku te waimārie te whai wā ki te whakaako! I’m still learning but everything we have sacrificed has been to live a fulfilling life with our reo in the hopes that our tamariki and our mokopuna and every generation afterwards will kōrero the reo of our tīpuna & it will flow from their lips with ease - Whakamāoritia tēnei ao! - Shalena Herewini

Ki tō mātou whānau, ko te reo Māori te honongā ki a mātou anō, ki ō tātou tīpuna.

Ko tāku whāinga mō te reo Māori - kia haumaru tō tātou reo rangatira - Carter McClutchie (I hope our reo Māori is protected - 8 years old)

Awhi awhi - Amaia (4 years old)

I hope we aren’t having the same arguments that we are having now in 2025 - Mike McClutchie

My hope is it becomes an everyday language for every person in Aotearoa & it is compulsory in all kura - Amelia Herewini
