Mana Māori Te Āwhina Marae, Pah St, Motueka Term 2, fortnightly Friday afternoons, 12.30pm – 3pm The Mana Māori Academy is a marae-based initiative trialed at Te Āwhina Marae in 2017 with selected tamariki from several local schools and homeschools within our wider Motueka learning community. Mana Māori aims to provide opportunities for Māori students and their whanau, inclusive of others passionate about Te Ao Māori (The Māori World), to strengthen cultural connections and experience an empowering educational, co-created, collaboratively facilitated, community inclusive marae-based teaching and learning programme. Intentionally schematic to allow for continued co-construction of the programme, basic holistic design elements include: • tikanga Māori (values and practices) • whakawhanaungatanga (establishing relationships) • wānanga (focussed group discussion & learning) • ako (reciprocal strength-based teaching & learning) An invitation is again extended to those interested in participating in the Mana Māori Academy to attend any or all of the four marae-based sessions scheduled for this term: • Friday 11 May • Friday 8 June • Friday 22 June • Friday 6 July NB: Register with RTM. Tamariki under 10yrs must be accompanied by a chaperoning adult. Ngā Mahi a Rēhia – the art of leisure, is to be the focus theme of these sessions, culminating in a sharing of learning as part of an end of term Matariki celebration. Exploring traditional Māori games and pastimes as inspiration, and utilising harakeke (flax), rākau (wood & sticks), stones, shells, ropes, string etc. to make up, create and teach our own games, entertainment and recreational activities. https://teara.govt.nz/en/leisure-in-traditional-maori-society-nga-mahi-a-te-rehia 12.30 - 1.00pm Wā Kai (lunch time) Participants arrive with own lunch and mingle/chat with others whilst eating kai.

The contests are in four categories; Pei Te Hurinui Jones, Korimako, Te Rāwhiti Ihaka and Sir Turi Carroll. Competitions and are held at three levels – school, regional and national. A bus has again been chartered this year to take Motueka High School students and supporters to and from the regional Te Tau Ihu (Top of the South) competition venue. $10 entry includes lunch. Te Tau Ihu Regional Kapahaka Competition Nelson College, 67 Waimea Rd, Nelson Saturday 30 June, 9am – 3pm Spectator entry is by door sales on the day. Preceding the prestigious national Te Matatini senior kapahaka competiton, the biannual regional competition hosted by Te Tau Ihu o Te Waka a Māui Cultural Council and Ngāti Koata Trust, is this year set to feature four competing teams, including the recently re-established Motueka team Te Kapahaka o Te Āwhina Marae. The 2018 Te Āwhina Marae kapahaka team is made up of a dedicated group of kaumātua (elders), pakeke (adults) and taiohi (youth). The original Te Āwhina Marae kapahaka group was established and tutored by Aunty Mere Kingi and others in the 1970’s but had been dormant for decades. The re-establishment of the group and our participation on stage in this competition is in part to pay homage to Aunty Mere who passed away last year and an acknowledgement of her legacy in Te Reo me ōna Tikanga (Māori language and culture). Haere atu rā e kui ki te paepae o Matariki, o Rehua. Haere atu rā. Farewell respected elder, go to the threshold of Matariki, of Rehua. Farewell Matariki Celebrations Te Āwhina Marae, Pah St, Motueka Friday 6 July Mana Māori Academy Friday 13 July Community Open Day Traditionally, the rising of Matariki was a time for remembering those who had passed and for celebrating new life. Matariki is the Māori name for the cluster of stars also known as the Pleiades. It rises in mid-winter and for many Māori, heralds the start of a new year. This year, June 7th is listed as the day that Matariki sets and July 6 - 9 as the rising, which is when we may see Matariki just above the horizon before the sun comes up. In his book Matariki : the star of the year, Māori astronomer, Dr Rangi Matamua suggests the 2018 celebration period to be 6 -13 July. Since 2000 Te Taura Whiri i te Reo Māori (Māori Language Commission), the Ministry of Education and the Museum of New Zealand Te Papa Tongarewa, have been involved in the revival of Matariki celebrations. http://www.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/assets/LanguageResources/MatarikiBooklet.pdf Te Reo & Tikanga for Teachers Parklands School - RTM office/Whānau classroom Term 2, Thursdays 4-5pm Tailored to meet individual and group needs and targeted towards team leaders, teachers in charge of Māori programmes in their respective schools and those with a desire to develop proficiency with Te Reo me ōna Tikanga. A cultural focus for sessions this term will include developing a knowledge and resource bank pertaining to Matariki. An invitation is extended to interested educators to attend any or all of the seven sessions scheduled for this term: • Thursday 17, 24, 31 May • Thursday 7, 14, 21, 28 June Motueka Kai Fest Ngā mihi maioha (many thanks) to the teachers, students and parents who last term contributed to and participated in the 2018 Motueka Kai Fest parade and pageant. Brought to life with vibrant colourful costumes paying tribute to the four elements, this year’s parade and pageant featured over 120 students representing the following schools: • Nuku (Earth) Parklands School, Lower Moutere School • Wai (Water) Ngatimoti School • Ahi (Fire) Motueka Rudolf Steiner school • Āngi (Air) Motueka High School Whānau class, Motueka South School, Brooklyn School Special mention to the Motueka High School kapahaka group members who performed the pageant and the house captains who were parade flag bearers on the day. A special mention also to Brooklyn School pupils who contributed wonderful static displays of their inquiry learning projects on estuary ecosystems for this year’s interactive and educational Tamariki zone. Motueka Kai Fest, is set to be an annual community event which seeks to celebrate our abundant region and also to bring about awareness of the importance of kaitiakitanga (guardianship of the environment and its food resources). For those keen to take part in next year’s Kai Fest note the date Sunday 7 April, 2019. School Visits to Te Āwhina Marae Te Āwhina Marae welcomes day visits by local schools. These can be arranged in consultation with the Resource Teacher of Māori and are generally scheduled to occur on Friday mornings from 9.30am -12.30pm. Last term tamariki from Parkland’s Taumata Kahuki bilingual class helped to host tamariki, teachers and parents from Lower Moutere School whose marae visit culminated their school-wide local study of ‘Our place, our people’. Kī-o-Rahi Tournament Waimea Intermediate, Salisbury Rd, Richmond Term 3, date to be confirmed Yr 7-8 tamariki from several local schools including Parklands, Ngatimoti, Riwaka, Brooklyn and St Peter Chanel competed in last years regional Kī-o-Rahi Tournament held annually in term 3 (weather permitting) or term 4 (postponed) at Waimea Intermediate. Based on a Māori legend with reference to the the stars of Matariki, this traditional Māori team sport has been gaining popularity through nation-wide revitalisation efforts over the past decade of both the celebration of Matariki and the game of Kī-o-Rahi. Schools considering entering teams in the regional 2018 tournament may want to include some lessons this term learning about Kī-o-Rahi as part of their Matariki activities and may like to request support from the Resource Teacher of Māori in teaching the legend and game to senior students. Motueka Kapahaka Fun Day Parklands School, Pah St, Motueka Term 4, Thursday 6 December 2018, 9.30am – 2.30 pm As was the format trialled for the Motueka Kapahaka Fun Day held in 2016 this year the event will again be hosted outdoors to allow for an increasing number of participants and greater community attendance. Emphasis will be in combining groups of students from the various schools to perform on mass commonly known items such as Utaina and Tū Tira mai Ngā Iwi. As a point of difference individual schools may like to create an original bilingual composition around their school values that could potentially become their school song. I can help with translation into Māori. Also groups may like to consider performing an interpretive dance item to contemporary Māori music as part of their bracket. As was the case in 2016, it is hoped that tamariki from the various local schools may like to be part of a combined cultural float in the Motueka Christmas Parade. The date for the parade is usually the first Friday of December. This year’s Kapahaka Fun Day will be the day before to precede Parkland’s multi-cultural Tūrangawaewae Festival on Friday 7 December.

  • Henley School Newsletter
    56a William Street HENLEY Richmond Nelson Ph. (03) 544 8904 Email: [email protected] SCHOOL Website: www.henley.school.nz NEWSLETTER 31 July 2014 No: 1 Term 3 REACH HIGH - STRIVE FOR KNOWLEDGE - LIVE WITH ALL YOUR HEART Kia ora koutou te whanau Dear Parents and Caregivers, I hope you managed to have some enjoyable family time with your children over the holiday break and that your children are refreshed and ready for a busy and exciting Term 3. At the end of last term I was fortunate to be able to support our Rippa Rugby Team who competed in the regional finals in Havelock. Four schools were involved – Richmond, Springlands, Renwick and Henley. Our team was coached by Aaron Honey and Cade Armstrong and was unbeaten on the day winning the final against arch rivals Richmond by 8-6. The team now have an all-expenses paid trip to the national finals in Wellington in early September!! A fantastic result to beat a strong Richmond team who have won it for the last 4 years and well done to all the team and coaches. It was clear from watching the games that Henley played as a team and utilised all members in the squad – the rotation policy used by the coach Aaron Honey did not seem to affect their performance as it did the All Blacks a few years ago. There is a photo later in the newsletter. A warm welcome to the following new students; Talei Kinzett (Rm 17), Emma Baken (Rm 19), Kaylee Douglas (Rm 4), Samantha Douglas (Rm 4), Sami Geddes (Rm 12), Natalie McCall (Rm 14), Jake Roderique (Rm 17), Jamison Shutkowski (Rm 17), Isabelle Thirkettle (Rm 3), Zayla Squires-Gordon (Rm 20), Tayla Doyle (Rm 17), Katlyn Doyle (Rm 11), Ella Singh (Rm 19a), Emi Rodley (Rm 9), Ben Elliot (Rm 19) and Hayley Palmer (Rm 19).

  • 27Th August 2020
    , th 27 August 2020 WAIMEA NETWORK SCHOOLING REGIONAL REVIEW No doubt parents will have seen last week’s article in the Waimea Weekly about Nick Smith petitioning for the Ministry of Education to purchase land in the new Berryfields (Lower Queen Street) sub-division and to build wa new primary school. A similar article has been in the Nelson Mail. I have had a number of parents and media asking me about my views and so I will outline some of my thoughts for your consideration. I think it is really important to do what is best for all students and families on the Waimea Plains. Recently, Nick Smith visited me and we spoke at length about his desire for a new primary school built at Berryfields. It would be fair to say we agreed on some ideas but disagreed on the need for this to be a primary school (or would there be a more suitable site on the Waimea Plains)? I have been on a working party formed by the Ministry of Education over a year ago, to look into the possibility of the Ministry of Education purchasing land in the Berryfields area and the possibility of building a new school. We have looked and discussed numerous options. The Ministry of Education have started undertaking community consultation. Firstly, a community consultation evening at the Brightwater School hall (Tuesday 11th August) and then there was meant to be another evening in the Waimea College hall (Thursday 13th August). The latter was postponed due to COVID Level 2 conditions. The Ministry of Education will be notifying schools and community of a survey that community members can complete – details to be sent out later.
