Ngā mihi

Tōku toa, he toa rangatira.

Kei te pōwhiri a Kia Mau i te hunga rangatahi me ō rātou kaiako kia whakahōnore i ērā i whai wāhi ki te Rōpū Rua Tekau Mā Waru mā te whakanui i ā rātou mahi ki te waiata me te haka.

Tēnei te tino mihi nunui ki a rātou katoa o te Rōpū Rua Tekau Mā Waru, ina koa ki ērā i hinga i te mura o te ahi. Kei te tino mihi hoki ki ngā whānau i pupuri i te ahi kā i te wā kāinga, i tatari anō hoki i aua tau taumaha mō te hokinga mai o ngā makau.

I kōrero mātou ki te tokomaha i a mātou e hanga ana i tēnei rauemi. I tiritiri ētahi i ā rātou kōrero i runga kiriata hei whakarongotanga mā te hunga rangatahi. Mā mātou e whakahoki aua wāhanga kiriata ki ngā whānau, ngā kaitiaki tika mō aua taonga.

He tokomaha ngā tāngata i āwhina ki te tuhituhi, ki te whakaahua, ki te hoahoa me te whakawhanake i tēnei rauemi rongorau. Mei kore ake koutou hei tohotuhu, hei tautoko i a mātou! Kua rangatira mātou i tā koutou kaha whai wāhi mai ki tēnei kaupapa. He hōnore nui ki a mātou katoa te waihanga i tēnei rauemi, me tā mātou mahi i runga i te ngākau aroha.

Ki te kitea mai he hē, he hapa rānei, kāore ēnei i āta mahia. Kua tino whakapau kaha mātou ki te whakarite kia tūturu, kia ihiihi, kia whaihua te rauemi ki te hunga rangatahi. Kua whakamātau mātou ki te whakarite kia mārama haere ngā ākonga ki te poautinitini, te hūhi me ngā wikitōria i kite wheakotia e ō rātou tīpuna, ā, i taua wā tonu kia mārama hoki ki te mātauranga i tukuna iho mā ngā waiata me ngā haka.

He mea whakawhanake a Kia Mau e Copeland Wilson & Associates Ltd mō Te Tāhuhu o Te Mātauranga.

Tēnei te mihi tino nui atu a te hunga whakawhanake ki ēnei tāngata mō tō rātou kaha tautoko mai.
