Te Kura O Te Muriwai

Nga tamariki korari o te wiki tuaiwa! Ka rawe rangatira ma!

Hūkere ki uta, hūkere ki te tai, ūranga te waka Rapanga-te-ati-rangi ki Te Kura o Te Muriwai.
Nō mātou te maringa nui, te tino waimarie, i haramai te whānau o Tairāwhiti waka ki te kura i te rangi nei. Nā rātou mā i whāngai i ngā mātauranga o te hekenga waka, waka taurua ki ngā tamariki, i tino rata rātou i ngā akoranga hou. I kī mai te whānau nei, ka hoki mai hei te wāhanga o Raumati ki te haria ngā tamariki ki runga i te waka i Te Wherowhero, hīkaka rawa mātou ki te haere tonu i ngā mahi rangatira nei

Awesome day today. We were very fortunate to have the Tairāwhiti Waka whānau visit and teach about voyaging waka, waka taurua (double-hulled canoes), knot tying, the different parts of the waka, reading the stars, observing birds, understanding tides, winds, and the sun for navigation. The tamariki greatly enjoyed learning from the whānau and gained valuable insights into this important mātauranga Māori. The whānau also told us that they will return in the summer to take the tamariki aboard the waka at Te Wherowhero. We are all very excited and eagerly looking forward to this waka experience.

What an awesome effort from our Fast 5 Netball team at the Fast 5 competition.

A huge shout out to our tamariki who represented us at the Fast 5 Netball Tournament today! 🏐

We are so proud of the teamwork, determination, sportsmanship, and positive attitudes shown throughout the day. It was awesome seeing our students support one another, give their best effort, and have fun on the court.

Thank you to our whānau, coaches, and supporters who helped make the day possible. Your encouragement means so much to our kids.

Ka mau te wehi team — you represented our kura with pride! 👏

Nau Mai Whānau 😊

Big mihi to everyone that supported the Muriwai shop on Friday. Everyone enjoyed their ice-cream and it was awesome to see the tamariki using their pāngarau skills.
We also had a pukapuka aroha (black book) for those that forgot their pūtea or didn’t get the memo. Those tamariki know who they are and will let their parents know. Next shop will be run by Matukumoana.

Also on Friday, our Te Māhuri boys went out to hauhake our kūmara and tidy up our mara. It wasn’t the best harvest, but there were some really good learnings we took from it, and we now know what we can do better next time. Big mihi to matua Pare for bringing his tractor down to wack down all the weeds.
Ngā mihi whānau.

What an awesome day at the Weet-Bix Triathlon!

So proud of all our tamariki for the effort they put in today – the determination, courage, and big smiles said it all. You all smashed it! 💪✨

A huge mihi to Makauri School and Te Whiti Ora for putting together such a fun and well-organised event for our kids and community. We appreciate all the mahi that went in behind the scenes to make it happen 🙌

Ka mau te wehi everyone – you should all be proud! ❤️
