Kia ora e te whānau,

Thank you for coming on here to supporting our kura and our tamariki!

Te Whānau Awahou is a bilingual Te Reo Māori unit within Te Uru Karaka Newton Central School, guided by kaupapa Māori principles, practices and pedagogy. Our tamariki experience daily interaction in Te Reo Māori, and this commitment to speaking, to keeping our reo alive, enriches their lives, the lives of our whānau, and the lives of the wider community. Kia kaha te reo Māori!

This year we will be participating in Noho Marae. We are fundraising for this in particular. To stay on a marae, and participate in the daily life, from the pōwhiri, to the kīhini, to the echoing snores from the next-mattress-neighbour, is a taonga we want to provide for our tamariki. Travel, accommodation and kai adds up to a hefty expense that we need to find the pūtea for.

That’s where you come in…

We greatly appreciate the use of Te Maunga at The Hollywood to help fundraise. We believe many aspects of this film align with the kaupapa of our kura. We are excited to watch this with you all and whanaungatanaga together.

So… the doors will open at 2pm for home baked vegetarian kai and whānau time.

The movie will start at 3pm.

We also have a raffle with awesome prizes donated by our whānau including:
