Hei whakanui i Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, kua kikī tō mātou wiki i te ako, te tohatoha mātauranga, te whakaako, te tūhonohono me te whanaungatanga.

I waimarie katoa mātou ki te manaaki i a NZ Football ki konei ki Hoani Waititi Marae, ā, he tokomaha i eke ki te marae mō te wā tuatahi. Ko ētahi atu, kua hoki mai anō ki tō tātou marae whai muri i ngā tau maha e ngaro atu ano.

E mihi ana ki ngā kaiwhakahaere i te rangi nei mō tō koutou kaha, ō koutou mātauranga me ā koutou manaakitanga.

I tino ora te marae i te rangi nei!
Kī tonu te whare i te kata, i te harikoa hoki, i ngā tamariki, ngā mātua me ngā kaiako e ako ana, e tākaro ana i ngā kēmu Māori. 👏🏽

I rere ngā waiata ki te wharekai, ā, i hiki ake i te wairua o te katoa!

He tīmatanga rawe ki tō mātou rā, nā te mahi tahi ki a Summerland Kindergarten. 😊
