KMK Kā Manukura Profile

Kura Reo ki Te Au ki te Tonga (Ōtaki)
Kura Reo for me is like being on a waka, riding the ngaru and the inevitable tūpuhi that present themselves along the way. Getting on the waka reo for the first time is daunting, lonely and even overwhelming. Sometimes I feel like I am paddling my waka forward, sometimes I am paddling backwards and at other times I am paddling on the spot! At those frustrating moments on board my waka reo it is time to rethink, relook at my language plan and ka tīmata te haerenga anō. [Read more…]

KMK Kāika Reo Profile

The Moeraki Reo Group began as a whānau initiative in 2011, formed to bring te reo Māori classes to Moeraki via regular wānanga. Inspired by the success of our reo champions, the whānau sought assistance to bring te reo back to the marae. With support from Te Rūnanga o Ngāi Tahu, Moeraki was able to secure the delivery of Akona te Reo, a level 5 Certificate in Māori Language for whānau. The whānau were elated to learn that their efforts would yield a recognised qualification and that the tutors for the programme were our own, Hana O’Regan and Justin Tipa. [Read more…]

He aha te mea nui o te ao? He takata, he takata, he takata. The purpose of the KMK Reo awards is to recognise, encourage and reward KMK’s most vital resource – our people.

The awards will recognise and highlight the achievements of those who are making an outstanding contribution to the regeneration of te reo Māori within the Ngāi Tahu takiwā, Te Waipounamu in different categories, from Papatipu Rūnaka reo champions to Kaiwhakaako. The KMK Reo awards aim to celebrate what has been accomplished and generate inspiration for others following in the recipients’ footsteps. A pānui with further details calling for nominations will be distributed to all Papatipu Rūnaka and relevant community networks in due course.
