Māori language moment 2020

Next week is Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori. Yes, we agree, every week should be Māori language week, and we are committed to keeping this beautiful, cultural treasure alive in our community.

The Māori language moment 2020 is a wonderful opportunity for each of us to use Te Reo, to the level of our confidence or even beyond, to support the journey. Mauri ora!

RIP Auntie Bloss

This week our school, like many others, has been affected by the passing of Te Puawaitanga, Blossom Silich. Bloss was nan to two of our current students, mum in law to one of our teachers and an ex student and friend of our school. She is also tangata rongonui, a very special Kuia, to the people of the Ngati Rehia hapu. We share the grief of all those mourning the loss of Auntie Bloss. Moe mai rā e te whaea.

The whole school formed a guard of honour as Te Puawaitanga returned to her marae on Monday.

Positive parenting support

As part of the psychosocial response to the COVID-19 pandemic, The Ministry of Health are offering free access to the Triple P Parenting programme enabling:

Families to learn strategies/tools to feel confident about parenting during the effects of this COVID-19 pandemic
The workforce to have tools to provide evidence-based, responsive, and helpful ways of supporting whānau.

Two options enabling access are provided:

1. Practitioners can register and request codes for parents to access the programme

2. Or MOE regionally can complete registration online, with the parents name and this will be automatically sent to the Werry Workforce Whāraurau. The parent will then receive an access code by email from the Triple P Online Client Management System.

If this seems of interest please make contact with Tumuaki-Principal Chris Bell.
