Marae Stay
What a magnificence two days.... The students, colleagues and myself thoroughly enjoyed our over night stay at Owae Marae. This was a great chance to not only bond and build positive relationships with all students, but to also build positive and engaging relationships with colleagues, whanau and members of the local community. An eventful and fun two days were organised by the team at Manukorihi Intermediate. We all collaborated together to ensure meaningful and engaging learning would take place. I also noticed how well the staff got stuck in and worked together while we were at the Marae. This is was very important to ensure all areas were running effectively, and was shown through student engagement levels and positivity with their peers. Post Marae stay, meaningful discussions were had around our experiences at the Marae. Great ideas were brainstormed.
Some Examples:
- It's a treasure
- Unites people regardless of ethnic, gender, or religion background
- We shape culture as we love it to be
- Values
- Diverse
A short clip about what culture is
Is the commitment to culture in Aotearoa slowly changing where we have educators, businesses, communities and the wider country developing positive view points towards the heritage, tikanga, and language of the indigenous people? Will we ever be at a stage where Aoteroa's indigenous peoples language, culture, and history be listened to with an open mind?
