PANUI: Ko Te Kōhanga Reo o Whakatipu Waimāori tātou!

"Ko te ahurei o te tamaiti ka ārahi i ā tātou mahi"
"Let the uniqueness of the child guide our work"

This whakatauki has been the driving force behind our whānau engaging with Kōhanga Reo over the past 2 years, in the hopes of creating a space in Tāhuna for our tamariki to thrive surrounded in Reo Māori me ōna tikanga. Having a space for whānau and hāpori to stand firm alongside each other sharing and learning together.

Wero: Become Kōhanga Reo
✔️ It was announced at last weekends hui with Te Kōhanga Reo National Trust that we have successfully been chartered :)

Wero: Find a permenant location
✔️ Te Kura o Kāmuriwai Board of Trustees approved the leasing of classrooms for use by Kōhanga Reo

Wero: Become licensed through MoE
🔜 We now pick up this wero with a goal of set up and open for 2025.
Our whānau kōmiti are preparing for the challenge ahead.
Our hāpori are invited to be part of this success.

More info to come, but this is a huge success that needed to be shared with you all.

We acknowledge our whānau past and present for every peice of mahi that has contributed over the decades to help get us this far.

Mihi atu ki ngā whānau katoa i ā rātou mahi kaha hei whiria te tangata i tēnei kaupapa whakahirahira mō ngā mokopuna. 🤙🏾
