Apanuitanga

“Tahia te marae, tahia te marae. Uia te manuhiri me ko wai, me ko wai. Ko Te Kuti, Ko Te Wera, Ko Te Haua e. Ko Apanui, Ko Apanui.”

Ko te aria matua e rere ana ki roto i nga akomanga ko tenei, Ko wai a Apanui? 

Kei te ruku nga uri ki nga reo whakapapa, pepeha, me hitori e ai ki a Apanui.

I nga ahiahi he reo roreka e rere ana ma te poipoi i nga waiata me nga tikanga e ai ki a tatou o te kainga, o te tairawhiti. 

Ma enei rawa kei o matou nei ringaringa arahi ka hua mai te matauranga kia Apanui te tu. Ka mutu ka matua mohio ratou ki o ratou nei tuakiritanga  Maori, tuakiri Apanuitanga ano hoki.

The focus concept for this term is Ko wai a Apanui?

The uri have been productive in learning about the whakapapa, pepeha, and history of their ancestor Apanui.

In the classrooms you will hear waiata of home and the East coast being sung by the uri. 

With the abundance of rich resources in our hands. Our desire for the uri is that they are confident in all aspects of knowing who they are as Maori but most importably as descendants of Apanui.
