Ngā Kōrero a ngā Raukura

Me i kore ko te kura kaupapa Māori, me i kore ko tēnei marae, kua kore nei tōku reo Māori. Inā kāhore ōku mātua i whai whakaaro ki te tuku i ahau ki tēnei kura, ka rerekē katoa taku ao.

Ko te reo Māori tonu te tūāpapa o ngā mea katoa. Ko tā Te Aho Matua, he whakamana i te tangata, e kore e tāmi i te tangata. Ka whakamanahia tō whakapapa me tō whānau – kāhore e titiro noa ana ki te tangata kotahi, engari kē, ka whai wāhi atu te whānau katoa ki tēnei kaupapa.

Āe mārika, ki a mātou, koia rā tō mātou kāinga. Nā te kaha o ō mātou kaiako ki te tautāwhi i a mātou, ki te whakaako i te reo Māori ki a mātou, ki te whakaako i ngā tikanga, i runga katoa i te ngākau aroha. I te korowaitia mātou ki te aroha me ōna hua katoa.

Ki te pātai koe ki tēnā me tēnā o ngā raukura o Hoani Waititi - nō hea koe? Ko hea tō marae? E whakapono ana ahau, ko Hoani Waititi hoki tētahi. Ko mātou ngā kaiako, mātou ngā kaitiaki o ngā poari, mātou te whānau, e tū katoa ana hei mātua mō ngā tamariki o tēnei wāhi.

Te Aho Matua Education Review Report:

Kura Kaupapa

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi Marae

Ministry of Education Profile Number

279

Location

Kei Tāmaki-makau-rau

Our purpose

The Education Review Office (ERO) and Te Rūnanga Nui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa (TRN) are working together to capture the journey of learners who have experienced Te Aho Matua education, Poutiria te reo Mauriora.

Background

Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi is situated within the Hoani Waititi marae complex. This is an active urban marae that serves the greater Māori community in West Auckland. The kura provides education for students from Years 0-15. Te Aho Matua is the guiding philosophy that underpins all practice.

Whānau Statement

Kāore Te Kōhanga Reo o Hoani Waititi Marae me Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi Marae i te herea e ngā pakitara o te akomanga, inā rā, ko te ao hei akomanga. Ka whakaritea he taiao akoako ahakoa ki hea, ahakoa āhea. Ko te wāhi e tau ana ngā ākonga, koia hoki te wāhi e titia nei tēnei taiao.

He taiao reo Māori.
He taiao manaaki.
He taiao angitu
He taiao aroha.
He taiao Aho Matua.
Kātahi te kāhui kaiako mātanga ko te kāhui o tēnei kura.

Koinei te taiao motuhake o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi Marae.

Raukura kōrero

If we didn’t have kura kaupapa Māori; if we didn’t have this marae; I would not have my reo Māori. My world would be totally different, if my parents didn’t think to send me to this kura.

Te reo Māori remains the cornerstone of everything. Te Aho Matua is about empowering people; it does not suppress people. It acknowledges your whakapapa and whānau – it does not look at the single person, but the whole whānau is able to take part in the kaupapa.

Truely, to us that was our home. It was due to our kaiako protecting us, teaching us te reo, teaching us tikanga and having compassion and empathy. We were surrounded by aroha and everything that entails.

If you were to ask any of the raukura from Hoani Waititi, where are you from? Where is your marae? To be honest, Hoani Waititi would be one of them. We as kaiako, board members and whānau members, can all see ourselves as parents to the children in this place.

He taiao Aho Matua.
Kātahi te kāhui kaiako mātanga ko te kāhui o tēnei kura.

Koinei te taiao motuhake o Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Hoani Waititi Marae.

Raukura kōrero

If we didn’t have kura kaupapa Māori; if we didn’t have this marae; I would not have my reo Māori. My world would be totally different if my parents didn’t think to send me to this kura.

Te reo Māori remains the cornerstone of everything. Te Aho Matua is about empowering people; it does not suppress people. It acknowledges your whakapapa and whānau – it does not look at the single person, but the whole whānau is able to take part in the kaupapa.

Truely, to us that was our home. It was due to our kaiako protecting us, teaching us te reo, teaching us tikanga and having compassion and empathy. We were surrounded by aroha and everything that entails.

If you were to ask any of the raukura from Hoani Waititi, where are you from? Where is your marae? To be honest, Hoani Waititi would be one of them. We as kaiako, board members and whānau members, can all see ourselves as parents to the children in this place.
