He mihi nui ki ā tātou tamariki katoa mō ā rātou mahi nui, mō tō rātou manawanui, me tō rātou ū ki tēnei kaupapa. He nui te kaha me te ngākau tapatahi kua whakaaturia e rātou i roto i ngā wiki kua pahure ake nei mō te kapa haka o Kerekere.

Ka nui hoki ngā mihi ki ngā kaiako katoa mō ā rātou mahi nui, tō rātou tautoko, me tō rātou whakapau kaha ki te ārahi i ā tātou tamariki mō tēnei kaupapa whakahirahira.

Tēnā koutou katoa, kua oti pai te mahi. 🌿

We invite you to be part of this.

Kia ora e te whānau,

We are currently in the early planning stages of recruiting our next tumuaki for Te Kura o Te Awahou.

Before any decisions are made, it is important that we hear from our community — your experiences of our kura, what is working well, what could be strengthened, and your aspirations for the future.

Your feedback will directly inform:

💙 the direction of our kura
💙 the qualities we seek in our next tumuaki
💙how we continue to grow and support our tamariki

This survey is one of several opportunities to share your whakaaro. We will also be holding kapu tī drop-in sessions and a whānau hui, where you are warmly invited to come in, connect, and contribute in person.

Your voice matters, and it will help shape what comes next. Mauri ora
