Maori Perspectives


Maori Perspectives

·       A Native area has been created at the back of the school and this is constantly been added to.

·       Our School Learning Journals are called “Te Ara Tika “ which translates as “The Path to New Learning”

·       Celebrations include “Tikanga Maori day” All children get to experience a boil up meal and fried bread.

·       Matariki is celebrated. We plant trees down at the “Hikataia Cut”

·       Te Reo is part of our school learning.

·       The school houses are named after the local rivers in our area.

Piako, Waihou, Ohinemuri, and Waikato

·       All children at Netherton school learn the school pepeha

·       We have a carved Maori sign that welcomes people to Netherton school and all students know who carved this sign and why it is so important to us.

·       Plan a noho Marae at Tutureinga Marae (Te Puna) for the whole school

·       Learn appropriate waiata for noho marae and school production.

·       Teachers use greetings and classroom demands using Te Reo.
