We always open our staff and practice meetings with karakia or whakatauki. "Whakataka te Hau" is a karakia we especially like the imagery that relates to our cluster name and our cluster purpose and vision. Let the winds of learning come from the West and South, the land and the sea, and bring a fresh start and new learnings and insights to the cluster and our work with students, whanau and schools. Whakataka te Hau Whakataka te hau ki te uru Cease the winds from the west Whakataka te hau ki te tonga Cease the winds from the south Kia mākinakina ki uta Let the breezes blow over the land Kia mātaratara ki tai Let the breezes blow over the ocean E hi ake ana te atākura Let the red lipped dawn come He tio, he huka, he hauhunga with a sharpened air, a touch of frost, a promise of a glorious day Tihe Mauri Ora |
