      So here are some questions you can think about beforehand -  

• ‘What do you want your tamariki to learn?’
• ‘How do you want your tamariki to learn?’
• ‘What do you like about what is already happening here?’
• ‘How can you assist us in educating your tamariki?’ eg. expertise within the whanau, kaumatua, etc.

10th April 2016

A pānui has been sent home to the whānau of our Māori students.  This is the opportunity for you to say what day, and time of day, suits you best for Whānau Hui.  I look forward to receiving these notifications so that I can plan the next Whānau Hui for Term 2.
