Kia ora tātou te whānau kua tae mai nei i tēnei rā
E ai ki te whakatauki…. Nā Māhutonga i tohutohu mai ō koutou tūpuna, me te nui hoki o tō rātou māia, kia whakawhiti ora mai rātou i Te Moana-nui-a-Kiwa, ki tēnei whenua (It was the Southern Cross that guided our ancestors and with their bravery they were able to cross the Pacific Ocean safely to this country)
Nō Waitaha, ko Kāti Māmoe, ko Kai Tahu te iwi, ko Hāmoa ma Pākeha
Nō Te Waipounamu ōku tīpuna
Ko Anaherawai ahau
Kei te noho au ki Hornsby
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou katoa
