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.
