Cluster 9 RTLBs - Auckland

Our RTLB Cluster 9 Otahuhu/Mangere celebrated Te Wiki o te reo Māori by allowing the Māori RTLB to open our Cluster hui with Te Wiki o te reo Māori. We also celebrated by presenting Waiata, Poi and stick games. Our group is very diverse with South African, Fijian, Samoan, Pākeha, Philippine, Indian, and Māori. Each of these diverse groups loved celebrating Te Reo Māori. We also brought little Māori gifts like He Pikorua magnetic bookmarks, silicone Māori bracelets and Māori patterned badges as a koha to show our aroha for these diverse groups engaging in Te reo Māori at their own levels. We asked them to either wear a badge or bracelet for the whole week to show there support for te wiki o te reo Māori.
