Kia ora e te whānau o te UC Puna,

Te Wiki o te Reo Māori is an annual opportunity for concentrated celebration, promotion and encouragement of te Reo Māori – and it’s next week!

Events run each day of the week organised by a collaboration of Te Waka Pākakano, Te Akatoki, UC Rec Centre, UC Puna, and students of Hōaka Pounamu and Kuru Pounamu. Several cafes on campus also have half price kāwhe me te kaputī.

Take a look at the timetable and plan some te reo breaks into your working week: Te-Wiki-AVC-Timetable-2020

One key event is Te Wā Tuku Reo Māori | The Maori Language Moment, a new  initiative for 2020 that asks us to pause at the same time around Aotearoa me te Wai Pounamu and celebrate te Reo Māori. It is a defining moment that commemorates when in 1972, 30,000 signatures were delivered to Parliament calling for te reo Māori to be taught in schools. At 12pm on Rāhina | Monday UC Library will be hosting this event on level 2, PJH.  Sign up online and be counted as one in a million here: https://tuku.reomaori.co.nz/

Mauri ora!
