I am Maori, and sharing my reo has always been paramount. Hearing Te reo Maori being spoken is a normal thing for me. Being the only Maori speaking member of staff, It is comforting for me to be surrounded by our reo. I think it is important to take part because I want our Reo to be normal, be part of the culture of our Kura and for tamariki to know about their turangawaewae, to have some solid understanding of Reo Maori and Tikanga Maori as they venture forth on their Huarahi Matuaranga.

Class teachers in our school are from diverse backgrounds and from all over the world. We have come together to sing, read, speak and draw in Te Reo Maori. We have a Ngahere area of native rakau where one of our staff will go through and teach the kids the Maori names of all of the trees there. We have a week long "Wero" series where the school can participate in using te reo around the school.
