Te Kohanga Reo o Te Otinga ki Tamaki

Some helpful information whānau!!

If you need to leave in a hurry, it's good to have a grab bag for everyone in your household. A grab bag is a small bag with essential supplies 🎒 🥫🔦

Each bag should have:
• Walking shoes, warm clothes, raincoat and hat
• Water and snack food (remember babies and pets too)
• Hand sanitiser
• Portable phone charger
• Cash
• Copies of important documents and photo ID

Remember any medications you might need and keep your first aid kit, mask or face covering, torch, radio and batteries somewhere you can grab them in a hurry.

Mõrena whānau. We have lost a true Wāhine Toa of Te Kõhanga Reo kaupapa last night. Whaea Raewyn Joy Dickson passed away at her home last night in Te Hapua. We are awaiting funeral arrangements from her whānau. So far we are looking at Friday being the day of the nehu.
