Aupiki ki te tihi - Education Strategy
In 2021 we embarked on a new journey to create an education strategy, BY, WITH and FOR our whaanau - a living document that is relatable, educational and uniquely us.
We captured as many voices as possible and collated the koorero to create two goals and five priorities.
GOALS
Weaving a sustainable papakaainga way of living; and
Carving quality education pathways.
FIVE PRIORITIES
Create pathways to teach, learn, and pass on Te Ahiwaru maatauranga, stories, tikanga, kawa and te reo Maaori.
Influence quality relationships between our whaanau/hapuu and schools.
Influence quality teaching approaches in schools for our whaanau.
Profide mentoring and support for education and learning navigation.
Create sustainable education, training career pathways and employment opportunities.
Kura Whaanau Reo
Pou Tikanga/Pou Reo Ngaati Tahinga Wilson shares koorero about Kura Whaanau Reo
Te Ahiwaru Kura Whaanau Reo is one of the ways we work to bring the goals and aspirations of our hapuu to life. By providing a reo learning opportunity in our papakaainga, the programme strengthens our whaanau reo Maaori capabilities, making te reo Maaori the prominent nurturing language at home. Kura Whaanau Reo also supports our aspirations to grow the capacity and capabilities of our pae koorero and pae karanga within our hapuu.
The 30 week programme is open to all learners. Whaanau develop a language plan for their home, learn karakia and waiata, and through different contexts our language learning enables the use of simple, everyday words and phrases in all areas of the home.
“Reclaiming our reo, with our whaanau, on our marae”
