Activities

During our kaitahi event on Friday, we presented a number of our kaimahi with Reo Maori coffee mugs to acknowledge people who had participated enthusiastically, supported and encouraged others in their use of Te Reo Maori, or stepped firmly outside of their comfort zone and gave it a go.

The tohutoa for the Reo Maori moment wero was awarded to the Tokoroa Library team, who will be the kaitiaki until Te Wiki o te Reo Maori 2025.

We unveiled a tohutoa to bestow on the team who wins the Reo Maori moment wero.

Kai mahi across our organisation participated in a Reo Maori moment wero. This is the team from our whare pukapuka in Tokoroa.

Storytimes were delivered in Te Reo Maori at our libraries this week.

Emails went out each day with some kupu that pertain to the day to day mahi of our organisation, and a range of mini wero, where kaimahi were encouraged to update their signatures to include their job titles in Te Reo, and use many of the kupu posted all around our whare.

We started our week with Monday morning karakia and waiata.

We were proud to host Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Te Hiringa at both our whare pukapuka, and our whare kaunihera to kick off Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori.

Our Mayor, Gary Petley and Manukura Susan Law unveiled the new images for our ruma hui at te whare o te kaunihera a rohe o Waikato ki te Tonga. We undertook to rename our ruma hui in 2023, to provide them with ingoa that had more meaning and mana. These manu were created for the organisation by Jade Cortesi and we were proud to be able to unveil and bless these during Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori.
