Kua rauhanga te pīpīwharauroa Kua hauhake te kūmara Ka tangi te tītī Ka tangi te kākā ka tangi hoki ahau.

Nau mai hoki mai ra ki Te Pa o Rākaihautū
e tatari atu nei kia koutou
nga tairoa e ngaro atu ai
te aroha e ngau kino nei
Ko nga hoia a Tūmatauenga i nga pakanga o te ao
Kei warewaretia

Welcome back everyone to Term 2. Thank you for sending our tamariki pononga back looking well and eager to get into another term.
Our pononga are looking awesome in their puna kākahu and the new jackets will help keep us all warm.
We welcome on board Whaea Rhyse and Whaea Jan in Puna Hauaitū and also Whaea Dominee in Uruao.
A big nau mai hoki mai to Koka Ari who will be helping our Karikari Uruao team get ready for Secondary Schools Kapa Haka in July.
Winter sports starts again and Te Pā will be well represented. I look forward to our participation and progress.
A big mihi to Te Hinenga Te Hemi who will represent Waitaha at the Race relations speech competitions in Auckland next week.

Mauritū Mauriora e te whānau,

Tauira Takurua, Kaiurungi.
