Mānawatia a Matariki

What a fabulous parakuihi celebration we had this morning. Thank you to those of you who braved the cold and joined our tamariki to celebrate Matariki. Our tamariki have worked so hard with their waiata and creating and practising their dances. I am super proud of the effort that has been put into our Matariki learning. Tino whakahīhī ki te ako!

Te Ahu o Te Reo Māori

I would like to congratulate our kaiko who have all taken part in the above learning to improve their Te Reo knowledge. This has been a huge commitment on their part, attending classes every Wednesday for the last 16 weeks. They also gave up one of their Saturday’s to learn onsite at Moeraki Marae. Ngā mihi nui ki

ngā kaiako katoa - our tamariki are blessed to have such a dedicated team!

What is a Kāhui Ako?

A Community of Learning | Kāhui Ako is a group of education and training providers that work together to support students in achieving their full potential. Early learning services, me ngā kōhanga reo, schools, kura and post-secondary providers can all be included. We are part of the Waitaki Ara Kāhui Ako alongside Fenwick School, Oamaru Intermediate, Waitaki Girls, Waitaki Boys and the Oamaru Kindergarten Association. Being part of this Kāhui provides opportunities for our staff, whānau and tamariki to work together to ensure the best education pathways possible for our learners.
