Head of Faculty, Māori Studies

He karanga tēnei ki ngā kaiarataki!

E rapu ana Te Kāreti o Kaipara i tētahi kaiarataki ngākau whiwhita, ngākau titikaha hei ārahi i Ngā Pua Kawariki o Kaipara, tō mātou manga Māori.

Me matatau te kaitono ki te reo Māori, me mātau hoki ki ngā tikanga Māori. Māna ngā kaiako me ngā ākonga o Ngā Pua Kawariki e ārahi, e tautoko, e whakakaha, kia puāwai ai te reo Māori me ngā kaupapa Māori i tō mātou kura.

Ko tā te kaiarataki he whakawhanake i ngā hōtaka ako, he whakatairanga i te eke panuku o ngā ākonga Māori, he kimi hoki i ngā huarahi auaha hei whakatupu i te marau, hei kukume i ngā ākonga ki te reo Māori me ngā kaupapa Māori.

Kei Te Awaroa tō mātou kura, ā, ko Ngāti Whātua o Kaipara te mana whenua o te rohe nei. I te tau 2025, i whakatuwheratia tō mātou whare ako hou, arā, ko ‘Te Rito.’

Nau mai, piki mai ki te WAKA o Kaipara!
