FEEDBACK FROM OUR WHĀNAU HUI:

We gathered some great feedback from our Māori whānau last week. Here are some of the messages we heard:

KEEP

• providing more learning opportunities in Te Ao Māori

• using Te Reo Maori in the classroom

• being open with us about our kids’ learning

• developing teacher capability in Te Reo Māori

STOP

• being fearful of change in case you get it wrong

• saying tamariki names and place names incorrectly

START

• kapa haka (we heard this strongly!)

• whānau rep on the Board

• termly whānau hui

• recognise that even small steps/changes make a big difference

• a Māori enrichment class

These were fed back to the Board too as part of our Strategic Planning (see page 2). Ngā mihi whānau!
