E te whānau,
He pīki mihi tēnei ki te hunga i tae mai ki te hui whānau i tērā wiki. Miharo rawa nga korero, a, i rongo hoki i te wairua ora i roto i te whare. Ko te kaupapa mo te po ko te orokohanga mai o to tatou kura. I tino tau te whare, i te aro hoki te tangata ki nga kaikorero me wa ratou maharatanga.
E tika ana kia mihia koutou e whaea Sandra, koutou ko Annette, Charlene, Suz me ta koutou whanau, i to koutou whakaae ki te haere mai ki te tuku i nga korero mo te kura - i tino rongo i ngā piki me ngā heke o te whakatū i tō tātou kura.
E mea ana Te Aho Matua: Nga Iwi 3.6
Ma te rongo a te tamaiti ki te awhi, ki te arataki, ki te tautoko, ki nga tohutohu a te whanau me tona aroha hoki, e mau ai tona piripono ki te whanau. He mea hopu te nuinga o enei tuahua. No reira, e tika ana kia piri tonu te Whanau ki nga tamariki i roto o te kura, i roto i a ratou mahi hoki.
Thank you to everyone who attended our whānau hui last Thursday. The kōrero shared was truly moving and inspiring.
The kaupapa for the evening was the origins and establishment of our kura.
A special acknowledgement must go to whaea Sandra, whaea Annette, Charlene, Suz and the whānau. Thank you for agreeing to join us and for generously sharing your memories, experiences and kōrero about the early years of our kura.
Te Aho Matua states in Ngā Iwi 3.6:
Through experiencing the care, guidance, support, instruction and love of the whānau, the child develops a strong commitment to the whānau. Much of this learning is absorbed naturally. Therefore, it is important that whānau remain closely involved with their children at kura and in their learning.
These hui provide an opportunity for us to reconnect with the origins, values and sacrifices upon which our kura was established, so that we understand the kaupapa we have inherited and work together in developing the future direction of our kura.
Next whanau hui - Thursday 27 August at 5pm. Dinner provided - nau mai haere mai.
