“The reo has been something that our whare has always strived to acquire.”
For Jamie and his hoa rakatira, Shanita, that meant making sure their tamariki had every opportunity possible to grow up surrounded by te reo Māori and te ao Māori.
Now his tamariki are older, it's Jamies turn to put that same energy into his own reo.
“Now it’s my turn to whakapiki taku reo, taku māramatanga i te reo.”
What started as Jamie wanting to grow his own reo has gone further than he expected. After 18 months with Te Huanui, completing all three levels, he is now a trained Taiwhirinaki helping others grow their reo! Mīharo!!
We’re looking forward to sharing more of Jamie’s story and where his haerenga is taking him and his whānau.
Ngā mihi ki a koe Jamie, mō ēnei kōrero ōu. Kei reira koe 🙌🏽🙌🏽🙌🏽

Kōrerohia kei ngaro. Speak the reo. Don’t just learn it.
