Natalie | Matariki 2021

Kia ora,

My Matariki moment was filled with pride and peacefulness as I attended our kura Matariki Celebration the last week of Term 2. The school staff invite the whole community to walk up to our maunga, we sang waiata, heard korero from Kaukauna, kaiako and tamariki about the importance of Matariki on a personal level as well as a community and national level.

This was our 6th or 7th celebration as we returned down the maunga to the hall to share breakfast together with more performances and waiata before our school day began. So proud if our kaupapa around Matariki at our kura!! Proud, proud kaiako!

Kia ora
