Kāi Tahu whānui, tēnā koutou. Nei rā te mihi mahana o Kāti Māhaki ki Makaawhio ki a koutou.
Nei rā hoki te mihi poroporoakī ki a rātou kua hika mai, kua hika atu, rātou kua hīkoi atu ki te taha o kā mātua tīpuna ki tua o te ārai.
E auē koutou, haere, haere, haere atu rā. Moe mai koutou i te rakimārie. Rātou ki ā rātou, tātou anō ki a tātou. Tēnā anō tātou katoa.

We are currently reassessing our waiata sessions and will advise in the New Year how we intend to proceed.
