At 12 noon on Monday 14th September, we came together and celebrated Te Wiki o Te Reo Maori. We started with a speech about the significance of this date and time, followed by Waiata (Tutira Mai) & Karakia. The shared lunch was a group effort with everyone participating, from the table decorations to the homemade rewana bread and steamed pudding.
Everyone felt the Wairua of coming together and celebrating this special day. We wanted to make sure we sounded like Tui's on the day, so the bottom right photo is of a few at singing practice the week before
