If New Zealand had abided by the principles of the Titiri o Waitangi we would be a bilingual nation. Our school is working towards becoming an 'English Medium bilingual school' - where students can converse in English and Maori fluently. We need to support Maori to take back the ground lost with anti-Maori language laws, that saw generations lose Te Reo. This initiative lifts the visibility of Te Reo and highlights the mahi we need to do, to develop Te Reo as a national, treasured taonga.
Flanshaw Road School
Across the school, teachers will be using Te Reo in their regular class lessons at 12.00 to 12.30 - joining the country in this initiative. In preparation for lunch they will do a kai karakia and our school song (which is in Maori) will be sung. Senior students will be playing ki o rahi at lunchtime.
