Ngā mihi nui, Ngā mihi nui Ko Maukatere te maunga. Ko Rakahuri te awa. Ko Ngāti Pākehā te iwi. Ko au te Manukura o Haeata.
Ko Dr Peggy Burrows taku ingoa. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, nga manaakitanga ki a tātou katoa!
Over the past five terms, since my appointment, we have anchored our innovative learning design into the New Zealand Curriculum, into NCEA, and as well we have introduced an ākonga behaviour management plan – He Korowai Manaaki to support positive engagement and success in ako/teaching and learning and angitu/success.
I have two goals this year as Manukura/Principal. The first is to be mākoha/kind and the second is to be angitu/successful. By working with whānau and ākonga I will ensure we all do the mahi/work required to truly succeed. We all need to pay attention to detail and ask for help whenever we need it, but we also need to accept that we are responsible for our own success and not wait for it to “happen” to us. All I ask of our ākonga is to be the best version of themselves.
Te manu ka kai i te miro, nōna te ngahere. The bird that partakes of the miro berry reigns in the forest. Te manu ka kai i te matauranga, nōna te ao. The bird that partakes of the power of knowledge has access to the world. He mihi whanui, he mihi maioha ki a koutou katoa kua tae mai. This is a widespread greeting of welcome to you all that have arrived. Nō reira huri noa i pūmanawa o Haeata.
To everyone gathered within the beating heart of Haeata.
Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, nga manaakitanga ki a tātou katoa!
