What I Said:

Kia Ora. My name is Marta and today I will be talking about the Waka Hoe that my school has.

Our 12 waka hoe remind us of who we want to be.

It helps prepare us for our learning and for future career choices.

Im a very focused and driven person.  I know where

I’m at for my learning and I always work hard to finish tasks. 

This relates to ako, tumaia, tikanga even mana and Kaha.

Those two hoe surface when performing kapa haka.  We are proud of our culture.

Another example when we stand on the taumata

and mihi to visitors or to our class and teacher. 

Also when we present our work to our class and school. We’re proud here at Tautoro.

You will see Manaakitanga and Aroha throughout our school all the time. 

Like this morning when we welcomed you here.

Its our school kaupapa to always welcome guests,

whanau and new students to our kura. 

Tuakana always look after teina and show

them the right way to behave out in the playground.

Tumaia, it means to be determined  and build resilience.

In our classroom we are constantly challenged in

reading, writing and maths.  Sometimes they’re so challenging

- we can’t ever give up! Ako -this hoe is about constantly

learning and growing.  Rangatiratanga is about growing leaders.

I love that we always have opportunities to lead by example for our teina.

Like now, we have the opportunity to share our thoughts about our school.

Our waka hoe keeps us safe and it also challenges us to become

the best school in New Zealand. So that is why our school is fantastic.
