SUPERHUI WITH TE ĀTIAWA Harbourside at Te Wharewaka o Pōneke, Neavin Broughton offered us whakaaro on telling stories, and a framework based on Māui and his whānau for examining identities. After yum kai, we ventured out on haerenga around Te Whanganui-a-Tara, to explore important sites, to learn new skills or to practice our reo. We ended the day thinking through our own practice and our next steps in our local curriculum space. It was a chance for us to connect, inquire, and reflect on our whakawhanungatanga as a Kāhui Ako, and with Te Ātiawa as one of our mana whenua in this rohe.

Ché Hancock joined our management team at the end of last year to represent our 11 ECEs. Che is Kaiwhakahaere / Senior Head Teacher at Owhiro Bay Kindergarten and brings passion and fresh energy to the role. Our first ECE Connect for the year was hosted by Newtown Kindergarten. This meeting gave kaiako from different centres a chance to get to know each other or catch up with old friends as well as to hear about what’s going on in our Kāhui Ako. We look forward to more Connect events coming up through the year.  We recognise the importance of our commitment to Te Tiriti o Waitangi, and have done a lot of mahi to upskill our staff across the kāhui ako in this space, however this has been through the lens of decolonisation, and has up until now been a “one size fits all” approach. We recognise that this journey can be challenging for our māori staff, and that this work is deeply personal to you and your whānau, and would like to provide a space where you can navigate your response to what has happened in Aotearoa, and how it affects you.
We are providing a personalised programme for any kaimahi Māori throughout our kāhui ako designed to support, encourage and strengthen you - run by Māori for Māori. Attendance in these sessions will remain voluntary. This programme will be facilitated by Nathan Riki and Janelle Riki-Waaka, and is for anyone who identifies as Māori throughout our Kāhui Ako - whether they be teachers, teacher aides or support staff.The mahi will begin with a full day Wānanga, and then be followed by way of a fortnightly wānanga (either online or kanohi ki te kanohi) of approximately 1.5 hours - fully responsive to your needs. We will be meeting at Newtown School - and kai will be provided for the day. Ongoing wānanga times will be discussed and agreed upon when you are all together. If you are yet to register, please register your attendance for our first Wānanga: Term 2: Thursday 4 May 9am to 3pm - REGISTRATION LINK HERE |
