Poipoia ō tātou nei pūmanawa
Making our potential a reality
Kei te mōteatea tonu nei ngā mahara ki te huhua kua mene atu ki te pō, te pōuriuri, te pōtangotango, te pō oti atu rā.
Kua rite te wāhanga ki a rātou, hoki mai ki te ao tūroa nei
Ko Io Matua Kore te pūtaketanga, te pūkaea, te pūtātara ka rangona whānuitia e te ao. Ko tāna ko ngā whetū, te marama, te haeata ki a Tamanui te rā.
He atua i whakateretere mai ai ngā waka i tawhiti nui, i tawhiti roa, i tawhiti mai rā anō.
Kei nga ihorei, kei ngā wahapū, kei ngā pukumahara, kei ngā kanohi kai mātārae o tō tātou nei kura Aho Matua, Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Whānau Tahi.
Anei rā te maioha ki a koutou katoa e pūmau tonu ki ngā wawata me ngā whakakitenga i whakatakotoria e ngā poupou i te wā i a rātou.
Ka whakanuia hoki te toru tekau tau o tēnei kura mai i tōna orokohanga timatanga tae noa ki tēnei wā
Ka pūmau tōnu mātou ki te whakatauki o te kura e mea ana “Poipoia ō tātou nei pūmanawa”
Takiritia tonutia te rā ki runga i Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Whānau Tahi.

He aituā! He aituā!
Tue Jul 07 12:47pmE te Pāpā, whakaritea tō waka kia whakawhiti atu rā i tēnei ao ki tēnā kua whakaritea rā e ngā mana o tuawhakarere. Ko Pūmahara hei pītau whakareia, ko Wawata hei hoe urungi, ko Kōrero-tuku-iho hei takere. Rukutia ngā haumī ki te aroha mau roa e kore nei e motu.
E te ōki tīkoke o Tūhoe Pōtiki, o Te Hikahika Matua o Te Aotūroa, hānatu haere.
Waiho mā ō kanohi ora koe hei tangi, ō kōrero hei kōrero, ō wawata hei whakatinana. Roimata, e heke; E hūpē, e rere! Maringi rā kia mākona rā te pīkoko tou areare o Aituā.
It is with heavy hearts that we announce the passing of our esteemed koroua, Rangihau Te Moana who passed away at his home last night.
We will be bringing him in to Te Atawhai o Te Ao Tūroa this afternoon at 4:30pm. We invite all whānau and tamariki to come and support as we welcome him and begin our period of mourning and remembrance. Please be here no later than 4pm.

Ngā manaakitanga,
Nā te ohu whakahaere o Te Whānau Tahi.

New trial meal āpōpō for kura lunches
Wed Jun 17 03:26pmTēnā koutou e te whānau
Our kura is one of two kura in Aotearoa helping the School Lunch Collective (the provider of the funded school lunches) trial one new meal a week for the next few weeks. These meals are different to the regular menu provided to kura receiving lunches.
This weeks dish is a Lasagne Bake and will be delivered tomorrow. There is a dietary alternative for ākonga with dietary requirements.
Our kaiako will be collecting feedback on behalf of ākonga through surveys and we will be feeding these back to the School Lunch Collective each week – good and bad!
We ask that whānau tautoko the trial by encouraging their tamaiti/tamariki to try tomorrows lasagne bake. This is especially important for those tamariki that bring in their own lunch from home.
We will let whānau know the trial meal each week, once we have been notified of what it is going to be.
