Kia hiwa rā, kia hiwa rā! Nau mai ki te Whare Haka o Te Tumu!

E haka i te haka a Pareārohi! E haka i te haka a Tāne-rore!
Let us imbibe in the artistic endeavours of Pareārohi and Tāne-rore

It’s that time of the year again when the students of our second semester kapa haka paper take to the stage to display their expertise in haka, poi and waiata. MAOR 308 kindly invites you to engage in the arts of Pareārohi and Tāne-rore as they perform for you the items that they have composed, choreographed and taught each other over the course of the semester.

This year’s kaupapa is: Matika! Maranga! (Stand up! Get up!)
There are many issues facing our student population - climate change, AI, poverty - this performance addresses all of these kaupapa before pivoting towards a mātauranga-led solution that can be achieved, in some part, through educational success.

We will also be having a special performance from Te Wharekura o Te Rau Toroa, the only Māori language immersion school in Ōtepoti. It will be a koha entry and all donations received will go to support the purchase of new kākahu for their kapa haka. The Kōhanga Reo generation is well and truly here!

This Te Wiki o Te Reo Māori, we’re celebrating the power of bringing te reo home and the role whānau play in nurturing language, identity and connection across generations.

Paulette Tamati-Elliffe and Kiringāua Cassidy bring a unique intergenerational perspective to Māori language revitalisation. As mother and son, they represent both the foundations and future of the Kotahi Mano Kāika movement, which has helped restore te reo Māori to thousands of Ngāi Tahu homes. Together, Paulette and Kiringāua will share their experiences of raising, living, and thriving through te reo Māori, demonstrating the power of language transmission within whānau and the impact it can have across generations.
