E te tini e te rau o ngā kāwai rangatira kua takoto ki ngā rekereke o ngā tīpuna maunga huri

i te motu takoto mai rā okioki ai.
Ki ngā Whānau e noho pani ana, noho kore rawa, otirā ngā whānau e pā kino ana ki ngā mate
tūroro mā te whānau e ārahi e manaaki kia noho ora ai ki te mata o te whenua ao noa pō noa. Tihei

We currently have a group of Wharekura students competing at the Secondary Waka Ama
Nationals held in Rotorua. Congratulations to Ngarangi Babbington who placed third overall in U16,
W1s, Tairoki Tahau-Hodges & Hitira’a MahanaTahau-Hodges who both made it to the champ
finals. To Ngatuere Matakātea who made it to the bowl finals. What awesome effort both you all.
Best wishes to all of our Wharekura paddlers who are presently competing over the next few days.
Tēnā wherahia!
Manu Korero-ā-kura
This event will be held next Thursday 6th April. All
students have been working hard to prepare and
present their speeches. As you are aware we
would love to have all of our students stand on the
day however we need to be realistic and follow a
process. All students have stood in front of their
rōpū, a student and teacher selection process has
been followed to select so many speakers to stand
in front of their Pou. Once this is complete parents
of children representing their Pou will be informed
by the classroom teacher.
