Te Pūtake

E mahi ngātahi ana Te Tari Arotake Mātauranga me Te Rūnanga Nui o Ngā Kura Kaupapa Māori o Aotearoa ki te kapo atu mā te kaupapa nei a Poutiria te reo Mauriora, te huarahi mātauranga o ngā ākonga i poipoia ki te mātauranga o Te Aho Matua.

Te Horopaki

E tū ana Te Kura Kaupapa Māori o Te Ara Hou ki Onekawa, ki Ahuriri. Ka whakamihi, ka whakanui hoki te whānau i tō rātou tino hononga, i tō rātou ū pūmau hoki ki a Ngāti Kahungunu. Kei te mātātoa tā rātou whai wāhi atu ki te whakarauoratanga o te reo o Kahungunu, ā, kua whakatakotohia taua tūāhuatanga ki tā rātou mahere rautaki.

Te Tauāki a te Whānau

E whakapono tonu ana mātou Te Whānau o Te Ara Hou, ka eke taumata ngā tamariki katoa. E mōhio ana mātou, ko tā mātou, ko te whakarato mātauranga kounga i te taiao atawhai, i te taiao takatika hoki kia taea te whakaputa, kia taea hoki te whakapakari i te tamaiti hei raukura mō tōna iwi i raro i te maru o Te Aho Matua.

Ngā Kōrero a ngā Raukura

Ka hoki aku mahara ki te wā he ākonga ahau ki te kura, me te kaha o ngā hononga, te hōhonutanga hoki o ngā whakaaro e pā ana ki te ao Māori me Te Aho Matua…he tino kaha ngā hononga ki waenga i ngā tūranga o ngā pakeke, heoi anō rā, ko te tamaiti kei te pūtake o ngā mahi i ngā wā katoa.

Kāhore he rerekētanga ki waenga i te kaiako me te whānau – e rua, e rua.

Ko Te Aho Matua te aronga matua a te whānau, ngā kaiako, me ngā ākonga… Ka rongo ā-wairua mātou i Te Aho Matua ki tō mātou kura. He tokomaha ā mātou Raukura e hokihoki mai ana ki te kura hei kaiako, pēnei i ahau nei. Hei hāpai atu, hei whakapūmau hoki i te āhua o Te Aho Matua i rangona ai e mātou, hei poipoi tonu i te kaupapa.

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 Te Ara Hou is in Onekawa, Napier. The whānau acknowledge and affirm their strong connection and commitment to Ngāti Kahungunu. They actively contribute to the revitalisation of te reo o Kahungunu as reflected in their strategic plan.

Raukura kōrero

I recall as a student at the kura the strong connections and depth of thinking around ao Māori and Te Aho Matua.…there were really strong connections between roles of adults and at the heart it was always about and the tamaiti.

There was no difference between kaiako and whānau – e rua, e rua.

Te Aho Matua was a priority for whānau, kaiako and students… We could hear and feel Te Aho Matua in our kura, ā-wairua. Many of our Raukura are returning to the kura as kaiako, like myself. To make a contribution and uphold Te Aho Matua as I experienced it, to preserve the kaupapa.
