Ka Hikitia

We know children do better when education reflects and values their identity, language and culture, and this is a central focus within Ka Hikitia- Accelerating Success 2013-2017.


Reflecting Maori culture & identity

• Scenario 1. A member of your Maori community has raised concern about how very little in the school reflects their culture and identity. Using the list you have just made, cast a Maori lens over it to better reflect the culture and identity of Maori.ie. Tinana-trees/shade : Label native trees with their Maori name.

Wairua-friendship seat: give a Maori name to the seat, such as, Kotahi, or Te turuwhakawhanaungatanga. Paint the seat with Maori patterns, paint with Maori words and/or name.
