We acknowledge the importance of the Maori language in Aotearoa. Although I am working in a special needs school, we still want to be part of the one million people and do simple songs and actions with the students. Staff is using simple words in Maori during the day with the students and we also start the day with a prayer in Maori. For me, it is about learning the language and be able to have a simple conversation in Maori. I am also doing an online course in Maori "Poutawa te reo Maori" to upskill myself.
