We are marae, we learnt about the history behind the very fortunate to be surrounded by a very manu inside our whare tipuna, Te Pae on nga talented, knowledgeable and caring community. Pakanga. On behalf of our tamariki we would like to thank During our noho marae, we also spent time on them all for making our noho marae a different physical and mental challenges as a success: Nga mihi kia koutou katoa. group, 2 TE PUARETANGA O TE WHARE HOU KI TE KURA KAUPAPA MAORI O KAWAKAWA-MAI-TAWHITI KI WHAREKAHIKA Takiri te ata ki runga o Patangata, ki nga waipuremu o Wharekahika, ki te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Kawakawamaitawhiti, me nga hapu o te rohe o Matakaoa i te whakapuaretanga o te whare takaro hou, hai oranga mo nga tamariki, nga mokopuna, nga rangatahi, nga matua, nga whanau me te iwi whanui. Haruru tapuwae nga taimihi aroha i tae a-tinana atu ki te taone paku ra o Wharekahika, ki te whakanui i te kaupapa tino whakahirahira kua roa nei nga whanau e wawatia ana. He ra miharo, he ra harikoa. He mihi nui ki te poari, te Tumuaki, nga kaimahi me nga whanau o te kura, ki nga kamura hoki na ratau te whare i hanga, me nga ropu tautoko i nga huruhuru kia rere ai te manu. It was a great day on the 15 April in Wharekahika, when at 5am, karakia began to bless the new carved entrance of Te Kura Kaupapa Maori o Kawakawamaitawhiti, as well as the kura which has been in a state of constant building for a number of years. This beautiful day also saw the opening of the kura and community gymnasium, boasting the only full-length basketball court in the rohe of Ngati Porou. It is a dream come to fruition for the kura and the community, and certainly is a huge asset to have in the region. Tairawhiti REAP staff members joined in with the day’s celebrations alongside the whanu, as well as the many manuhiri who arrived from around the country including the Regional Director of the Ministry of Education, Marilyn Scott, Ikaroa-Rawhiti representative for Labour, Meka Whaitiri, and the kura kaupapa from the region and beyond who travelled from Wairoa, Rotorua, and everywhere in between. The tamariki and rangatahi of the kura were a part of the whole day, and although many were up at 4am, they were amazing throughout, from start to end with the hakari at Hinemaurea Marae. 3 Matua Jedi taught the tamarki how to play chess at Pae O Te Riri School in Tikitiki. At first the tamariki took a while to understand what the rules of chess were. Jedi had a big chess mat which he hung on the wall. He placed the chess pieces on the mat (which were made from the mat material) so that the tamariki could see the chess moves and understand how many points each chess piece was worth. Once the tamariki understood this, they were away and very keen to play. One boy walked in later, realised what was required. he said he would like to be the 'chess champion.' Tumeke! Eight tamariki participated in learning chess. TAIRAWHITI REAP = FUN + LEARNING FOR PAE-O-TE-RIRI New Principal at Pae-o-te-riri School in Tikitiki, Kararaina Ngatai-Melbourne says this about Koka Val’s visits: “We have been enjoying the time with Koka Val and Matua Jedi. What we really love about it is the children are having so much fun. The kids are having lots of fun and learning – they associate her visits and the mahi of Tairawhiti REAP as just that! Every week, the kids know that Koka Val is coming and they are so excited! They are loving the chess and so are the parents who come. The sewing – the children are so proud of their bags they made last week. We look forward to continued mahi next term and the neat things that Koka Val will be bringing. Jedi has built a confidence in some of the tamariki through chess - tamariki who lacked confidence previously, which is marvelous to see. They are both so ngawari and the tamariki have gravitated to that.” 4 TUMUAKI TALKS: This 1st issue for 2016 of Talk- About-It has been a long time coming. Can you believe we are in May!

  • Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand
    A supplementary finding-aid to the archives relating to Maori Schools held in the Auckland Regional Office of Archives New Zealand MAORI SCHOOL RECORDS, 1879-1969 Archives New Zealand Auckland holds records relating to approximately 449 Maori Schools, which were transferred by the Department of Education. These schools cover the whole of New Zealand. In 1969 the Maori Schools were integrated into the State System. Since then some of the former Maori schools have transferred their records to Archives New Zealand Auckland. Building and Site Files (series 1001) For most schools we hold a Building and Site file. These usually give information on: • the acquisition of land, specifications for the school or teacher’s residence, sometimes a plan. • letters and petitions to the Education Department requesting a school, providing lists of families’ names and ages of children in the local community who would attend a school. (Sometimes the school was never built, or it was some years before the Department agreed to the establishment of a school in the area). The files may also contain other information such as: • initial Inspector’s reports on the pupils and the teacher, and standard of buildings and grounds; • correspondence from the teachers, Education Department and members of the school committee or community; • pre-1920 lists of students’ names may be included. There are no Building and Site files for Church/private Maori schools as those organisations usually erected, paid for and maintained the buildings themselves. Admission Registers (series 1004) provide details such as: - Name of pupil - Date enrolled - Date of birth - Name of parent or guardian - Address - Previous school attended - Years/classes attended - Last date of attendance - Next school or destination Attendance Returns (series 1001 and 1006) provide: - Name of pupil - Age in years and months - Sometimes number of days attended at time of Return Log Books (series 1003) Written by the Head Teacher/Sole Teacher this daily diary includes important events and various activities held at the school.

  • 7. Poverty Bay and East Coast
    7. Poverty Bay and East Coast The first fighting in the Poverty Bay and East Coast regions took place in 1865 at Tokomaru Bay, Waiapu and Hicks Bay, mostly between sections of the Ngāti Porou tribe (Cowan 1983 II: 117–123; Soutar 2000). On one side were Pai Marire (‘Hau Hau’) or ‘Kingite’ forces and on the other ‘Queenite’ Māori forces and allied Pākehā. There followed a six-day siege of the Pai Marire pā Waerenga-a-Hika in Poverty Bay in November 1865, resulting in surrender of the pā and the deaths of 11 men on the government side and more than 100 Pai Marire (Cowan 1983 II: 124–128) . On 10 July 1868, Te Kooti Arikirangi and 300 followers landed at Whareongaonga, south of Poverty Bay, having escaped from imprisonment on the Chatham Islands. This led to fighting in the next four years over much of the central and eastern North Island, with fortifications involved at Ngatapa (7.5), inland of Poverty Bay in December 1868 and January 1869, at Whakatane in March 1869 (5.31, 5.34), Mohaka in April 1869 (8.1, 8.6), and in October 1869 at Te Porere (6.15– 16), south of Lake Taupo (Cowan 1983: II ; Binney 1995: 87–208). Fortifications in this section are listed under: • Poverty Bay • East Coast POVERTY BAY 7.1 Crow’s Nest X17/32 (2908600E 6288600N); recorded 1991, update 1999.
