Lead from the front and challenge yourself to learn and speak more of our beautiful langauge in your kura. By having a goal, a plan and support, speaking te reo Maori with confidence will soon become a reality.

Imagine welcoming manuhiri (visitors) at a mihi whakatau (formal welcome) or beginning a staff meeting in te reo without having to prepare a script because you just know what to say! Growing cultural capacity within your yourself, your staff and community starts with it’s leader. Ko te kai a rangatira, he kōrero… the sustenance of chiefs is words.
