Kia ora class,

My name is Ms Al-Chalabi and I am a student teacher from Massey University. By now you have met me and know that I will be training with Mrs Selagan until the end of this term. I will be teaching you most of the sessions from now until the end of the term and I am looking forward to this exciting journey with you.

Matauranga Māori 

This week we are guided by the spirit of this Māori Whakatāuki as we continue to discover more about the Commonwealth Games

Ehara taku toa i te toa takitahi, ēngari taku toa takatini.
My strength/success is not as an individual, but as a collective.

We are reminded here that many nations coming together create a greater strength for each individual nation. We will be guided by this Māori world view as we move into our Focus area of the great Ako next week.
