Matariki is the Māori name for the star cluster known as Pleiades. The full name is “Ngā mata a te Ariki Tawhirimātea – the eyes of the God Tawhirimātea”. It is also the name for the Māori New Year celebration.
The first Matariki public holiday will be held on Friday 24 June 2022. By making Matariki into a public holiday it means we will have time to celebrate our unique place in the world, show respect for the beautiful land on which we live and celebrate the diversity of life.

LEARN / AKO: Extraordinary Characters
Myths take extraordinary characters and present them with extraordinary challenges. Throughout the conflict, the hero is required to reach deep, think creatively, and learn from others as he or she ultimately defeats evil. In the end, goodness (almost always) wins. We all want to believe that the good character wins in the end, that evil will not be allowed to prevail. Reading or watching extraordinary characters battling evil teach us valuable life lessons.

Term 1:
LEARN / AKO: Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi)
When is it ok to break a promise?
Did Te Tiriti o Waitangi (The Treaty of Waitangi) keep its promises? How do we know?
The purpose of the Treaty was to enable the British settlers and the Māori people to live together in New Zealand under a common set of laws or agreements. The Treaty aimed to protect the rights of Māori to keep their land, forests, fisheries and treasures while handing over sovereignty to the English. (https://www.justice.govt.nz) Do you think the Treaty has protected the rights of the Māori?
