Te Ara Reo Māori
This year in partnership with the Southern Institute of Technology the Hokonui Rūnanga is hosting the Certificate in Te Ara Reo Māori for staff and whānau. We are all enjoying the relaxed atmosphere and awesome opportunity to kōrero Māori together.

Mātauranga
With students starting back, many schools in the area hosted pōwhiri and it was a very busy time for some of our kaumātua and whānau supporting them. The effort put into welcoming the new students and staff at the schools was fabulous and it was a great platform for our rangatahi to showcase tikanga and be inclusive of the whole school.
