This week we celebrate Te Wiki O te Reo Māori and this year, we are excited to collaborate with our neighbouring kura, Mission Heights Primary School.

Today marks 50 years of Te Petihana movement.

“The Māori Language Petition (Te Petihana) presentation to Parliament on 14 September 1972, with over 30,000 signatures, kickstarted major shifts in the revival of Te Reo Māori as a living language in Aotearoa New Zealand. Since this moment 50 years ago, Te Petihana has, and continues, to inspire the Māori language movement.”

MHJC and MHP look forward to continuing this celebration for the rest of the week.
