Congratulations to our Emerging writer in te reo Māori, Tiahomarama Fairhall, who wrote ‘Tiakina! Tiakina!’.

He uri nō Te Arawa me Mātaatua. I tupu ake ia ki Te Rotorua-nui-a-Kahumatamomoe, ā, e mau tonu ana i te ahi-kā. He kaiako a Tiahomarama ki Te Kura Tuarua o Ngā Tamatane o Rotorua e whakaako ana i Te Reo Māori. Ko Te Reo Māori tōna reo tuatahi, kāore he reo kē atu i te kāinga.
