RIP Louis King

Moumou tangata, moumou taonga ki te po e!

I rangona whanui te ao, i te kapua pouri, mamae hoki i whakairihia i runga i to matou kura i te wiki i mahue ake ra.

E maringiringi ana tonu te roimata o nga tamariki me te whanau whanui.

No reira e tama, haere oti atu ki a koe.  Haere koe he rangatira, i whakahikoia i te ara tapuwae.  Kia mau tonu mai te ara wairua, tae atu ki te Rerenga Wairua, kei reira kia rukuhia to wairua.  Kore to kura i warewarehia i a koe.

Ki a koutou te whanau o te Kingi Waiaua - ki o matou tauira - Ko Maringi, Merita, Roberta, Matiu, Rangiwewehi, Hinemihiata, Henare, Tane, Pene te hau - ki a koutou katoa - ki nga matua/whaea - Papa Ikanui, Whaea Donna, Papa Sam, Papa Ropi, Whaea Melissa, Ruruhi, Whaea Ruruhi - a ko te mutunga korero ki a koe e Whaea Linda - kei konei to kura e mokemoke ana, tae noa atu ki te wa ka hoki mai koe.

No matou

Te Akomanga o Nga Mahuri e noho pouri ana

Nau mai, Hoki mai - Wahanga Tuarua

Mauri ora ano koutou nga rangatira, nga matua, nga whaea, nga tamariki o Nga Mahuri

Aroha mai toku kore whakatuhia i nga tuhinga mo tenei pae tukutuku.  Katahi ano ka hokia mai au ki te ao o te kaiako!

I timata matou i tera wiki - ka hokia mai a Tumoana Waitai - no reira, he mihi nui ki a ia me tana hokinga mai ki waenganui i a matou.

Ko tenei te wiki tuarua - i tera wiki, i timata matou i to matou hurihangahia o te akomanga mo te Pangarau/Poutama Tau.  Ngakaunui nga tamariki ki tenei akoranga hou, no reira, kia kaha tonu.  I timata hoki te whakaharatau mo te NEW IMAGE RUGBY/NETBALL Tournament hei te 27 Haratua - he Raapa - Te wiki tuarima te tikanga.  I whakahono nga ruma e rua - Ko Te Wai Onepu me Nga Mahuri -  o ia ahiahi te parakitihi i te whutupaora me te poitarawhiti.  Tino pai nga whakapakaritanga o nga tamariki.

I tenei ra, ka timata hoki to matou haerenga ki Kaitaia.  I a rua Raapa, ka haere ki te kura takawaenga o Kaitaia, ki BETA BODY FITNESS, ki te teihana o nga pirihimana hoki mo te akoranga DARE.  Ahakoa pai tenei ra, he whakatupatohanga ki nga tamariki - kia tau ki to tatou mauri tau hei nga wa katoa, ahakoa i hea, kei hea ranei.

I kai matou te SUBWAY hoki! (ko nga tamariki e mauria i o ratou putea).

Koina mo tenei wa - a tera wiki ka whakapiki ake ki runga nga whakaahua.  

Ko te tumanako, kia mau mai koutou i o koutou panui (e toru nga wharangi!).  I tukuna ma our tamaiti/tamariki i te Rahina.  Kei reira nga panuihanga katoa e pa ana ki to tatou akomanga.

**  Kare he huinga mo nga matua apopo - a tera atu wiki - Rapare 14 Haratua 2009.

*** Kia kaha te hokia mai i nga rewhara putea mo te paika - tenei Ramere te wawata, kia mohio ko wai nga nama/tikiti/tatai i wikitoriahia.

Naku noa

PANUI mo Nga Matua/Whaea

Mo nga matua/whaea hoki tenei

Kia ora to all our parents.  Just a few panui regarding the next 2-3 weeks ahead prior to the completion of kura.

Kura Reo (Postponed)

Kura Reo has been postponed through to Wk1/Wk2 next term.  We have many events occuring in the next few weeks and needed to ensure that we were organised.  Sorry if this has caused any inconvenience.

Taumahekeheke mo nga Kura Kaupapa Maori ki Te Hiku

Next week we have invited Pukemiro and Whangaroa to our Taumahekeheke Day 2nd Tikakamuturangi 2009.  This will involve Swimming and Athletic/Tabloids.  We are wanting to use this day as a fundraiser and we NEED awhi from parents to assist us with the fundraising activities we have:  Sausage Sizzle, Inu, Aihi Paraka, Keke, Kapu Ti.  

A panui will be sent home over the next few days.  Please support us to support your tamariki.

Easter Raffle

A panui went home today, asking for non perishable items.  Please support ano te kura in our ventures to raise funds for the whole kura.  It helps us to fund our classroom hekenga.

Bike Raffle

The Bike Raffle tickets will be ready to go on sale - Thursday - I will be handing out 10 tickets to each of our students to sell.  All our kids are really keen to buy all tickets but can you please tell them to sell some to other whanau if they are able.  This will be helping directly towards our next planned hekenga.

Hangarau ki Kaitaia Intermediate

Our kids travel to Kaitaia Intermediate tomorrow.  Can we please ensure that they have correct footwear for this.  I have already stood down two tamariki for not bringing footwear.

Aku Mahi Rangatira

On Wednesday 8th Tikakamuturangi 2009, it has been planned that we will hold the first of our Aku Mahi Rangatira nights.  It is compulsory for all whanau to be a part of this.  The students will be working hard over the next two weeks to prepare.  Please do not let their hard work go in vain.  I have seen some huge shifts especially in the way our students treat their bookwork.

Friday TE HIKU RADIO - 1:40pm

Please tune in, to Te Hiku Radio every Friday afternoon if you are able.  Already, a panui was blogged re this kaupapa - we would love all whanau to listen to our tamariki.  It really is a positive step by kura and we thank Papa Ikanui for giving our tamariki the 'air time' to make this happen.

EASTER and ANZAC

I realise that Easter and Anzac Day fall in the holidays - but can all whanau please spend time with our tamariki expressing the importance of these days to our tamariki whether you believe in them, or whether you don't.  Our kids must know that there is a purpose for everything, and that these days do have special significance, other then being a holiday.  

I'll be going to the Anzac Day Celebrations Dawn Ceremony in Kaitaia and have been to Dawn Ceremonies since I can remember.  It's important to show respect to those who gave the ultimate sacrifice - their lives.  

Korero Whakamutunga - Ka maumahara tonu matou i a ratou
