“Kia whakatōmuri te haere whakamua”
I would like to share a thought inspired by this whakataukī, it reflects the idea that one can move toward future goals while being guided by past experiences and lessons. It emphasizes the importance of history and personal reflection in shaping one's future direction.
Now is the time to educate our tamariki mokopuna about the Treaty of Waitangi and to encourage them to embrace their reo, tikanga, and mātauranga. By doing so, we ensure that our rich heritage is carried into the future.
Toi tū te kupu, toi tū te mana, toi tū te whenua!
