On Wednesday, 14th of December, year 8s from Tahuna-ā-Rua attended the official graduation ceremony at Te Whare Wānanga o Raukawa in Ōtaki.

We were proud and excited to celebrate our very own Matua Toa and Pā Teaomana Tahuriorangi, who graduated with their Poutāhū whakaakoranga Postgraduate Diploma in Education. It is no easy foot working, raising tamariki and studying to become a qualified teacher. Congratulations to you both and also to your whānau. We are so lucky to have the two of you joining the teaching team next year.

Tū mai Matua Toa, Tū Mai Pā Teaomana hei kairākau mō te reo Māori, hei pou whakaako, hei raukura mō te apōpō.
