Nau mai, haere mai, whakatau mai rā.

Tenā koutou katoa e ngā kaiako i te kura tuatahi o Morningside..

He rauemi tēnei hei hāpai i te reo Māori me ona tikanga i tenei kura.

Ko te tūmanako ka ngāwari ake te whakamahi i te reo Māori hei reo whakaako, hei reo kōrero, hei reo waiata, hei reo ngahau.

Hei reo mō te kaiako

Hei reo mō te ākonga

Hei reo mō te katoa

Hei reo mō Aotearoa!

Ākona! Whakamahia! Pupuritia, kia mau!

Greetings to all the teachers of Morningside School.

This resource has been produced to support Māori language and tikanga in this school.

It is hoped that this resource will make it easier to use Māori as a language of learning, conversation, song and enjoyment.

It is a language for the teacher

It is a language for the student

It is a language for everyone

It is a language for the nation!

Learn it! Use it! Hold on to it!
