T.A.M 4.1 Ko tona ake kainga te ao tuatahi me te kura timatanga o te tamaiti. Tua atu o tenei ko te ao Mäori. Ma te Kura Kaupapa Mäori ia e arahi i roto i enei nekeneke tae noa ki tona kura whaka-mutunga, ara, ki te ao whanui me ona ahuatanga katoa.
Inā hoki te mātotoru o rau titapu kua riro i ēnei wiki nonohi nei kua hori. Kei te Kīngi o te Kotahitanga, arā, Kīngi Tuheitia Potatau Te Wherowhero te Tuawhitu, haere rā e kara ki puna whakamoe ariki, ki a nunumi, ki a roroa, arā, ki te oru o te tira ki te pō.
Tēnā rā tātou katoa kei ngā whānau o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Ngā Papaonekura.
The whānau hui postponed for a later date this month has now been cancelled. We will hui again next term, the dates for next terms whānau hui are attached below.
We have our pīpī kōrero and manu kōrero event held at kura on the 25th and 26th of September starting at 1.30pm on each of those days. More details will be released in due course please make yourselves available to support our tamariki during their speeches as they alongside their kaiako have worked very hard to put these speeches together.
We thank all whānau members that attended the parent teacher interviews. Of the whānau that booked in appointments, we had a 100% turn out. We will follow up individually with whānau, whom for reasons, were unable to attend.
Attendance is a priority of our Kura. You will notice an increasing emphasis by the media and this government with regards to attendance. Help set up our tamariki and Kura for success. Please be warned that poor attendance may result in your child's re-enrolment for 2025 to be declined. Our policy of 90% attendance although high, is in line with national expectations for attendance. From now on Kaiako will contact home directly if your child is absent for more than three days and a reason has not been logged into skool loop. For sickness please send tamariki to Kura with a doctors certificate. Poor attendance will now be referred to truancy services.
Please be aware that every Friday from now on will be a mufti day for our tauira. It will cost tauira a gold coin every mufti day and we greatly appreciate seeing each child's individuality and flare permeate through the clothes that they choose to wear - Please no pyjamas, nighties and or slippers. All funds collected will go toward Wiki Hā at the end of this year for Wharekura students that have expressed an interest to attend and our camp for the whole Kura at the beginning of next year.
Just a reminder of the upcoming Teacher only days, they will be held next Thursday the 19th of September and Friday the 20th of September 2024. We appreciate your understanding.
I am still very 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,
