TKKM o Nga Papaonekura
Rāmere te 1 o Poutu te rangi 2024
T.A.M 5.4 He mea nui te noho wahangu me te whakarongo mo ngä tamariki. Ma te mau o tenei tuahua e rongo ai ngä tamariki ki te hohonutanga o te korero.
Tēnā rā tātou katoa kei ngā whānau o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngā Papaonekura.
Thank you to whānau that attended our recent whānau hui. Our next hui whānau is held on the 05.09.24.
Please be advised of upcoming Teacher only days, the information pertaining to these days are listed below.
We are looking forward to establishing a relationship with the whare kaumātua 'Papakura Oaks Retirement Village'. A Kura visit is planned for 15.08.24. As a Kura that follows Te Aho Matua, our tauira and Kura will not only benefit from this relationship as much as the kaumātua and kuia will, but it provides a basis for our tamariki to live out mātāpono Te Aho Matua such as the ones listed below;
T.A.M 5.6: Ko ngä kaumatua ngä kaipupuri o ngä tikanga Mäori, ko ratou hoki ngä pukorero. He mea nui tera kia piri mai ratou ki te kura, ki ngä tamariki hoki hei kaiako, hei kaiarahi.
T.A.M 5.6: Honour kaumatua as the repositories of Mäori knowledge and invite their participation as advisers and fellow teachers.
T.A.M 5.7: He mea nui tera te manaaki tangata. Kia kite ngä tamariki i te ahua o te manaaki, i tona kainga, i te kura, i te marae. A tona wa kia tu ratou ki te awhina i ngä mahi manaaki.
T.A.M 5.7: Expose children to the protocols of hospitality in the home, at school and on the marae, and require their participation at cultural functions in roles appropriate to their ages and levels of maturation. Accept that healthy relationships between brothers and sisters, younger and older siblings, children, parents and elders are the joint responsibility of the kura whänau.
I am keen to hear from whānau experienced in applying for funding, for grants and to philanthropic foundations. We have a list of sizeable jobs that need doing at the Kura and the only way to fund such tasks in the interim is via funding proposals. Current Kura needs are i.e. purchasing of a ride on lawnmower, landscaping works, electrical works, lighting works, security works, sports courts and some major cosmetic jobs that will ensure our Kura environment remains top tier. Any support and or advice is greatly welcomed.
Pērā i ia pānui, 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
