School community Te Reo course now available!

We are excited to announce our new Te Reo Māori courses at Island Bay School run by our very own staff. Throughout this 9 week programme you will learn:

• Basic Te Reo Māori

• Pronunciation

• A personalised mihi and karakia appropriate for multiple occasions

• Tikanga of pōwhiri Māori values and principles

Classes are taught at school every Thursday - starting on 20 May from 3.30 pm - 4.30 pm, for 9 weeks in The Learning Hub. Offered to families within our school community, the only prerequisite is you need to be keen and every family must have one adult learning with them. This is a great opportunity to share in a learning experience with your child/ren.
