Kerikeri High School Hosts Minister of Education
Kerikeri High School was proud to host the Minister of Education, Erica Stanford, as she announced the launch of a new Te Reo Professional Learning Development Programme, Te Ataarangi, for 50,000 teachers across New Zealand. The Minister was joined by esteemed Māori Language revitalisation expert, Dr Ruakere Hond; former Leader of Te Pati Māori, Te Ururoa Flavell; the Director of Education for Te Tai Tokerau, Hira Gage, and our local Member of Parliament, Grant McCullum. We welcomed our guests with Pōwhiri; kaikōrero for tangata whenua were Matua Kipa Munro, of Ngāti Rēhia and Year 13 student Waina Te Pouakai. We then took the opportunity to discuss a number of current educational issues with the Minister as well as share our property plans and aspirations.
