    The Maori Language Commission has redesigned Māori Language Week so that this year, whether we are in lockdown or not: New Zealanders can come together to celebrate te reo Māori.

    The Commission wants to get 1 million people speaking, singing and celebrating te reo at the same time in an unprecedented Māori Language Moment for Māori Language Week 2020. 

    What's happening this week in Coast:

    On Monday end of session 3, 12 noon: Māori language moment - our whanau will join the nation to celebrate Te Reo Maori by speaking, singing or doing a te reo Maori activity.

    16th September Wednesday is  Red, White or Black Mufti day. If you decide to wear mufti on Wednesday it must be in these colours or a combination of these colours. 
    A gold coin is being collected. The money goes towards the OSC scholarship for Year 13 leavers (all feeder schools contribute to this scholarship).
