Whānau Hui
Once a year we hold a whānau hui. These hui are of special importance to our Māori whānau but are open to anyone wishing to attend. At these hui we report back on Māori student achievement, development of Te Reo Māori and tikanga at our school and any other relevant issues.
In 2017 we wanted to collect some student voice from our Māori students and also from some of our non-Māori students who show a passion for learning about Te Reo Māori and tikanga. Below you can either read the questions we asked our students and read their responses or you can also watch videos of our students responding to the questions.
