Ahakoa he kura aoraki mātou, ka whai tonu mātou ki te hāpaitia ngā tikanga me ōna reo rangatira i tuku iho. I te timatanga o ia rā, ka karakia ia akomanga, me tuku mihimihi, me waiata. I mua i ia wā kai, ka karakia hoki mātou. Ko ta matou pirangi ki te hono ki tēnei haerenga - mau tonu ki te tino ahurea o Aotearoa, hei whakamana ia tamaiti Māori, ia whānau Māori, ki te tohaina te tirohanga Māori ki ngā tini hapori.

I te wā tonu nei, kei te rāhui-a-kainga mātou - hei zui o mātou akomanga ki te kitea i a mātou - ko te mea whakahirahira - te haumaru o o mātou whānau, manaakitia o mātou katoa.

Even though we are a mainstream school with a reo-rua - all of our kaiako and classes absolutely support tikanga and Te Reo Māori - we're joining the Reo Movement because it's another way to uplift te reo me ona tikanga - that which we follow on the daily. At the moment up here in Tamaki we are still in lockdown - seeing each other via zui - still starting our daily meets with karakia - it's about giving mana to our Māori tamariki and whānau -to help repatriate and rematriate - to help grow their pride in their taha Māori - and in doing so sharing our amazing world view with all of our whānau and communities. Mauri ora te reo, mauri ora te tikanga, mauri ora ki a tātou katoa!!!!
