I dream of living in a community where te reo Māori thrives. Where it is spoken as freely as English. To me, it is one of our greatest taonga and something that enriches the lives of everyone living on this motu. Kia kaha te reo Māori!

Ehara au i te tangata Māori. Nō Kotarani ōku tīpuna engari i tipu ake au i Whangaparāoa. Ko Pukeora te maunga, ko Te Weiti te awa, ko Okura te moana, ko Te Herenga Waka o Orewa te marae. He kaiako au. E mahi ana au ki te Kura o te Weiti. Ko Silverdale Primary School te ingoa Pākehā o tō mātou kura. He pāpā au hōki ki ngā tamariki e rua. Ki au nei, ko tētahi mea nui o Aotearoa, te Ao katoa rānei, ko te reo Māori.
