Tōku reo, tōku tuakiritanga, tōku anamata.

Ngā painga e whakatauiratia e tātou, ka noho Māori mai ki ngā reanga e heke mai nei.

Kōrerotia.
Whakarongohia.
Tohaina.

Ka ora te reo i a koe me ngā whānau maha o Te Whakatōhea.

Whānau ora, hapū ora, ka ora ai te iwi.

Our reo, our identity, our future

What we normalise today becomes natural for the generations who follow.

Speak it.
Hear it.
Share it.

Let our reo live wherever our whānau are.

Whānau ora, Hapū ora, Ka ora ai te Iwi

Kōrerohia te reo Māori ki ngā tamariki mokopuna.
He mana tīpuna tērā āhuatanga te rongo i te reo Māori e rere mai ana i te waha o te tamaiti.

Ngā waiata kua akongia.
Ngā pepehā kua kōrerotia.
Ia kupu kua maharatia.

Ka ora te reo i roto i a tātou tamariki. Whāngaia.

Whānau ora, hapū ora, ka ora ai te iwi.
______________________________________

Reo through our tamariki
There is something powerful about hearing our tamariki speak words once carried by their tīpuna.
Every waiata learned.
Every pepeha spoken.
Every kupu remembered.
Our reo continues through them.

Whānau ora, Hapū ora, Ka ora ai te Iwi

He aha tētahi kupu, whakataukī, kīwaha rānei, e hokihoki mai ana ngā pūmahara o te kāinga?

Tēnā tohaina mai ki a mātou.

Whānau ora, hapū ora, ka ora ai te iwi.

______________________________________

He kupu nā te kāinga

What is one kupu, whakataukī or saying that reminds you of home?

Share it with us.

Sometimes the smallest words carry the biggest memories.

Whānau ora, Hapū ora, Ka ora ai te Iwi

Ka tīmata te oranga i te taura here tangata

Hei kanohi kua kitea.
He reo kua rangona.

E mōhio pai ana ki tō pepeha hoki.
Ehara te hauora i te aronga i te wā o te māuiui anake.

Kaua e whakamana i to hauora i te wā mauiui anake koe. He wā anō ka whakakaha ake i ō hongonga ki tō whakapapa, tō whānau, tō whenua, tō reo me te noho whakaiti.

Whānau ora, hapū ora, ka ora ai te iwi.
_______________________________________

Well-being begins with belonging

Being seen.
Being heard.
Knowing where you belong.

Hauora is not only about what happens when we are unwell. It is also about strengthening the things that keep us connected whakapapa, whānau, whenua, reo and each other.

Whānau ora, Hapū ora, Ka ora ai te Iwi

Ngā Rangatahi Ruku | Te Reo Rua me te Tuakiritanga 🌊

Our reo, our taiao and our whakapapa all help connect us to who we are. Through Ngā Rangatahi Ruku, our rangatahi are building confidence, developing practical skills and learning in an environment that strengthens their connection to the moana, to one another and to their identity.

It is more than learning to dive. It is about creating opportunities for rangatahi to grow, challenge themselves and understand the responsibility we carry as kaitiaki.

He ara ako. He ara tupu. He ara tūhono.
A pathway to learn, to grow and to connect.

Through opportunities like Ngā Rangatahi Ruku, we continue to support our rangatahi to stand confidently in who they are and where they come from.

Whānau ora, hapū ora, ka ora ai te iwi

Kei hea te wāhi e tino rangona ana e koe te wairua tūhono?

Kei te taha o te awa?
Kei tō marae?
Tērā pea kei te kihini o tō kuia?
Kei ngā whenua taurikura o te kāinga?

Ka whaihua ēnei wāhi ki tō oranga tonutanga

Whānau ora, hapū ora, ka ora ai te iwi.
_______________________________________

Where do you feel most connected?🤝
Is it beside the awa?
At your marae?
In Nan's kitchen?
On the whenua?
Surrounded by whānau?
The places that hold us are part of our well-being too.

Whānau ora, hapū ora, ka ora ai te Iwi.
