Hui te mārama hei purapura ora.
He purapura ora – represents the uniqueness of our children and young people. The whānau, educators, practitioners and community are the kaitiaki who nurture and support the growth and wellbeing of the children and young people.
E tā.
I kōrero mai koe mō te tūnga o ngā ‘Tāngata rahi ake’, ki te whakaemi i ngā hua maha o te ao, ki ngā uara e mahitahi ana ngā whakautu mātinitini – kia whakakotahi ai tātou kia puta ngā whakaputanga pai mō wā tātou, tamariki, mokopuna me wā rātou whānau hoki.
Nei rā mātou e whakaea ana i ō āritiatanga, ki te awhi ki te akiaki i ō manahua, i o ū ki te pono. Nei rā mātou e mihi ana ki tō whakamārama, tō ūranga tōtika ki ngā take huhua, me ō mātauranga o te ao Māori hoki.
Ko te manako, ka tae wawe ake rā ngā tamariki, me ō rātou whānau ki ngā kēti o ngā kura i ngā ata o te Rāhina, e whakaaro ake ana mō ngā tauwhainga kei mua rānō i tō rātou aroaro.
Nei rā ka mihi, nei rā ka mihi e te Takuta Wayne Ngata
