SuperHui #2 - August 1 2022 Whakamana i te Tiriti o Waitangi

Whakamana i  te Tiriti o Waitangi 
Embodying Te Tiriti o Waitangi in your teaching practice
Janelle Riki-Waaka, our keynote presenter, was outstanding and her kōrero around success is one that is both challenging and inspiring, and certainly contained some “wedgie” moments! 

Success as Māori (vs Success of Māori) encourages schools and kaiako to look at how to grow in their Māoritanga.  Engaging with our school whānau to identify what success of their tamariki means to them is important. Janelle suggested a greater focus on Māori forms of giftedness can enable schools to reframe perceptions of Māori achievement and intrinsic value.

Janelle has shared her slides with us - we encourage you to go back and revisit the slides, either in your teams or as a whole school, and take some time to reflect on the statements that resonated or challenged you in some way.

Remember - one small action can make a big difference!  What you do matters.
Iti noa ana, he pito mata.
With care, a small kūmara will produce a harvest.
