Marlborough teachers from early childhood, primary and secondary schools gathered at Monkey Bay, Rarangi for our second Rongoā workshop this month. As they arrived they were greeted by the glassy rolling swell of Tangaroa, the warmth of Tamanuiterā and the cool, refreshing presence of Tānemahuta. After a busy day in the classroom this warm welcome was the medicine needed to nurture a busy mind. Hosted by the Marlborough District Council Environmental Education team as part of their PLACE focus this year, they invited whaea Ripeka, whaea Tricia and whaea Lovey from Manaaki Ngahere Trust to share their knowledge on Rongoā plant identification.

Read More Te Wiki o te Reo Māori, or Māori Language Week, is an annual campaign led by Te Taura Whiri promoting te reo as New Zealand’s language and a language for all New Zealanders. Every year we encourage whānau from across Aotearoa, New Zealand, including organisations, schools, workplaces and homes, to give te reo Māori a go. The theme of Kia Kaha Te Reo Māori – making the language stronger - will continue this year, picking up from where it left off in 2022. The campaign is an essential piece of the puzzle to achieving the goal of 1 million speakers of te reo Māori in 2040. https://en.tetaurawhiri.govt.nz/te-wiki-2023-announcement...
