During Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, our tamariki have been learning about Tupuānuku, the whetū connected to food grown in the ground. 🌱

Through stories, kōrero and hands-on learning, our tamariki are discovering more about te ao Māori and the beautiful connections between whenua, kai and whānau.

Free School Hours!* ⏰
We’ve got a limited-time Spring Enrolment Offer available until end of October. If you’ve been thinking about enrolling, now’s the time to make the move.

Our tamariki headed out to the lake to explore the changing seasons and discover how the world around them transforms. From noticing new colours and textures to observing the changes in nature, there was so much to wonder about along the way.

Because sometimes, the best learning happens when we step outside and simply take the time to look, wonder and explore. 💛
