Kia ora,

As a learner, leader and teacher I thought I would model the use te reo Māori both in everyday and at work introducing Māori words like praise, greetings, motion and even feelings to gauge staff on how they are feeling.

Staff are eager to learn and all join in which was really unexpected but I enjoyed our time and look forward to the continued learning and growing. (Selwyn Aquatic Centre)

As a learner at the University of Canterbury. Participating in waiata and morning karakia has been such a fun and easy way to feel, connected, involved and uplifted for the rest of the day.

I wish I took some photos for you enjoy.
