Te Wai Whānau Year 10 students have been working to normalise Te Reo in everyday school life by supporting students in their Learning Advisor Group. Year 10s are helping others learn their Pepeha, a traditional Karakia, the School Haka and the Te Reo version of the National Anthem. This important work supports Te Tiriti O Waitangi Principles – particularly the Principle of Protection; the active protection of Māori knowledge, interests, values and other tāonga. Through this work, we are supporting our young people to be culturally located learners and reinforcing the importance that as NZ residents/citizens we all need to be living the Te Tiriti O Waitangi Principles.
