TKKM o Nga Papaonekura

T.A.M 2.3 He taonga te reo Māori i roto i te Tiriti o Waitangi, he reo tuturu hoki i roto i te Ture mo te Reo. Engari kahore he painga o te Tiriti, o te Ture rānei, mehemea kahore te reo i roto i te whatumanawa, i roto i te ngakau, i roto hoki i te mangai o te iwi Māori.

Tēnā rā tātou katoa kei ngā whānau o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngā Papaonekura.

E rere tonu ana ngā mihi ki Te Aho Matua e tāwharau nei tō tātou kura, ka mutu, tō tātou kaupapa.

Nō te mutunga o tērā wāhanga tae mai ai ngā mano pukapuka, rauemi hoki ki te kura. He mea tiaki ēnei rauemi e te whānau o Ngā Papaonekura mō ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o te motu. Mā Te Runanga Nui aua rauemi e whakaemi, e tuku hoki ki ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o te motu, heoi, ko tā mātou he hāpai ake i Te Runanga me ōna whakaritenga.

Inā te maha o ngā kaupapa i tēnei wāhanga o te tau, nō reira e te whānau, kia kaha te tautoko mai i ngā tini kaupapa o te kura hei pāinga mō ngā tamariki mokopuna.

Kia kaha ki te kōrero i te reo Māori i ngā wā katoa ki ngā wahi katoa, kia kaha hoki tātou ki te whakaū ngā tini kaupapa nō roto i te kura ki roto tonu i ō tātou ake kāinga - e mana ai tērā kōrero nō roto i Te Aho Matua e mea ana 'Ko te kura hei kainga, ko te kainga hei kura'.

Hei kona mai i aku mihi nui,

Ian Marino - Tauhinu - Tumuaki

Langauge
Kei te rere haere te reo pākeha, te reo kangakanga me te reo whakaiti i te kura - whakamutua atu !
E te whānau please support the kura by reaffirming with your child / dren that kura is no place for foul language, swear words, belittling language and or slurs.

Kai
Tēnā koa tukua ngā mokopuna ki te Kura me he wāhi kai, ahakoa tae mai ai he kai i ia rā, ko te pāinga kē atu he wāhi kai mō te paramanawa. He whakatūpato hoki he whakamōhiohio atu ki ngā whānau, he mea tango kai e ē/tē/tahi rānei i te wiki pahure ake nei, whakatūpato ngā mokopuna i tēnei āhuatanga koa e ngā whānau.
Can whānau please send mokopuna to school with enough kai especially at morning tea, although Ka Ora Ka Ako Kai is available, it does not arrive until after morning tea, therefore we are unable to cater to mokopuna until lunchtime at the earliest. Please be aware whānau that kai has gone missing out of teina pēke last week, please warn and discourage all tamariki against such actions as this behavior amounts to theft and will not be tolerated at our Kura.

Kura Fundraising

It will come as no surprise that the needs of our Kura require a level of funding over and above that which is currently provided for by way of operational funding. To highlight this point, one of the big ticket items needed to maintain the kura property is a ride on lawnmower;

• Husqavarna Z572X RRP $ 28, 490, 00
• Kubota F3990 USED $14,000, 00

Whether brand new or used, funds, outside of those provided, would still be required to purchase this asset. This is but one example of the many assets that are needed to properly maintain and provide for our Kura.
A hallmark of this Kura Whānau has always been its ability to not wait for others to solve our issues or to save us. Instead, we've always been proactive at looking to and working on solutions for ourselves. As such it has been decided that the Kura will put into place a fundraising program where we hold regular fundraising events.
Total Whānau support will be required with these fundraising events.
Any whānau with ideas and or initiatives that can contribute to the overall fundraising program are encouraged to contact the Kura - mā whero, mā pango ka oti te mahi.
