He mihi mahana ki a koutou katoa
Bonjour à toutes nos familles
Te reo extension group and Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (14 - 21 September)
For Te Wiki o te Reo Māori (Māori Language Week) this year, Ahurea Tuakiri kōmiti [our cultural responsive committee] would like to take awhi [care] of the staff. Our extension Māori rōpu [group] will make kai for our kaimahi [staff] each day of the week. If you are able to offer any assistance with ingredients, in particular kaimoana [seafood], fish and paua or the teaching of the tikanga around cooking in te ao Māori we would really appreciate your awhi [help]. Contact jasmin@ridgway.school.nz if you are able to help in any way. Looking forward to an amazing celebration of our taonga. Ngā mihi nui, Ahurea Tuakiri kōmiti.
