Karakia

Karakia is shared every day. It is non-denominational and allows us to come together and begin our day in a calm way with the intention of reminding students of our expectations – this can be spoken in Te Reo Māori and also in English so that the meaning is really understood. It reinforces our school vision, philosophy and habits.

Whakataka te hau (morning)

Whakataka te hau ki te uru,

Whakataka te hau ki te tonga.

Kia mākinakina ki uta,

Kia mātaratara ki tai.

E hī ake ana te atakura.

He tio, he huka, he hauhunga

Tihei Mauri Ora!

Board of Trustees and when guest come to our school e.g. meetings

Kia hora te marino

Kia whakapapa pounamu te moana

Hei huarahi mā tātou i te rangi nei

Aroha atu, aroha mai

Tātou i a tātou katoa

Hui e, Tāiki e

Karakia kai

Ki tāku whānau

Me ngā hoa

Me te kai

I tenei ra

Kia ora

Afternoon karakia

Ka taku mihi ahau mo ngā akoranga

Me tāku ra pai i te kura
