This week our tamariki have celebrated Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori through challenges, activities and plenty of opportunities to kōrero and hear te reo Māori. A highlight was travelling to Whangārei, where we sang our way through the city in a parade celebrating te reo before gathering at the Town Basin for haka, waiata and inspiring kōrero from local leaders. What an awesome sight to see so many tamariki and whānau coming together to celebrate and uplift te reo Māori. Kia kaha te reo Māori!

Our tamariki had the awesome opportunity to get their hands on the famous ‘Ol Log o’ Wood’ - the Ranfurly Shield! At the home of our Northland Taniwha, they were able to hold the shield and snap a few special photos. What a privilege to see a piece of New Zealand rugby history up close and be part of its incredible legacy!

Officer Goody has been helping deliver the Keeping Ourselves Safe program at our school this week. With his help our tamariki have been learning about safe touch, good friendships and safe online behaviour. They even got to try on the uniform and don’t they all look fantastic!!!

Our tamariki were excited to welcome the Duffy Theatre back to Te Horo School! This year’s show followed Duffy and Tuffy on an interactive adventure exploring the importance of finding balance between books, games and screen time. Filled with music, riddles, laughter and plenty of audience participation, the show reminded us that “it’s cool to read, it’s cool to achieve!” Another awesome Duffy Theatre experience!

What an awesome day at our Taniwha Challenge Cross Country! Tamariki from schools across our rohe came together for a day of running, mud, determination and whanaungatanga. Ngā mihi to all our schools, whānau, volunteers and supporters who helped make the day such a success!

Our Te Horo whānau recently climbed Manukorihi Maunga, one of our three school maunga. It was awesome to see our tamariki encouraging one another and showing teamwork and perseverance to reach the summit together. Ngā mihi to Papa Mike for sharing the history of the maunga and its connection to our tūpuna, and to Matua Chris for organising this unforgettable experience. Ka mau te wehi!
