He mihi whakahirahira – Celebrating a Milestone for Our Kōhanga Reo Dream

After 10 long years of dreaming, planning, and preparing—we are beyond proud to celebrate our whānau who have successfully completed their kōhanga reo training and graduated this weekend! Their dedication marks a huge step forward in our journey to re-establish our very own kōhanga. This achievement is more than just a milestone—it's a symbol of our commitment to re-indigenizing our community and embedding te reo Māori into the hearts of our whānau and tamariki for generations to come. More whānau are set to begin their kōhanga training next year, ensuring our kaupapa continues to grow stronger. E kore e mutu ngā mihi—this is only the beginning!
