Our students and staff today are saying “Te kāhui ako o Pukewīwī, ko te kaupapa hei mahi tahi” (The Lynfield Community of Learning, Our motto is we work as one) at midday on Wednesday 12th September to show solidarity for the use of te reo Māori. Ngā mihi.

This is my Pepeha. I am from Koukourarata (Port Levy) on Banks Peninsula, though grew up in North Canterbury. My ancestors owned a timber mill in Little River and felled many native trees to help build Christchurch in the late 1800s (I feel quite guilty about this now, but those were the times they lived in). My partner, Verity, is Kai Tahu and her ancestry originates from Colac Bay, Takutai o Te Titi Marae, in Southland, a beautiful place that looks South towards Rakiura.

This is a haiku I wrote. It shows my usual optimism when planning an online meeting with my whole class of 30 students and then how many actually join. Mōrena koutou Haere mai ki tenei Zoom. . . . . . rua akonga!

I am an educator and it is my obligation to honor Te Tiriti o Waitangi to keep Te Reo alive in Aotearoa. I come from Te Waipounamu and my partner is Ngai Tahu, so it is important for my whanau too.

A beautiful and peaceful moment at Lynfield College where every class participated to promote well being and te Reo. My moment was one with a small group in a practical session in our Learning Support Department.

Recognising our taonga that is te reo Māori. Seeing it as a unique piece of our culture within an increasing globalised and connected world. I love the beauty of the language and the way it makes me feel when I speak it.

Jeremy

Maori is important to NZ and it should be more commonly used and taught.
