Ia ata, ia ahiahi hoki, ka whakawhiti ngā tamariki me ō rātou whānau i ngā rori e karapoti ana i te kura. Mēnā he tere rawa ngā waka, kāore he whitinga pai, he uaua rānei te kite i te tangata hīkoi, ka tīmata te rā ako ki te māharahara.
Ko te ara haumaru ki te kura he take hauora, he take mātauranga, he take tika hoki. Me āhei ngā tamariki ki te tae atu ki tō rātou kura me te kore e whakararu i tō rātou oranga.
Kāore te tohu anake e ranea
He mea nui ngā tohu me ngā rārangi peita, engari me tautoko ēnei e te hoahoa rori. Ka āwhina ngā papa whakawhiti teitei, ngā wāhi tū waka tika, ngā ara hīkoi whānui me te whakaiti i te tere o ngā waka.
Mēnā ka whakawhirinaki te pūnaha ki te tūpato o te tamaiti anake, kāore anō kia haumaru te pūnaha. Ko te mahi a te hoahoa he whakaiti i te kino o te hapa tangata.
Whakarongo ki te kura me te whānau
Ko ngā tauira, ngā kaiako me ngā whānau ngā tāngata e kite ana i ngā raruraru ia rā. E mōhio ana rātou ki te wāhi ka tata tūtuki ngā waka, ki te wā ka tino pōkaikaha te huarahi, me te wāhi kāore e kitea pai te tamaiti.
Me kohi ngā kōrero nei, me whakahoki kōrero hoki ngā kaunihera me ngā tari waka. Ko te whakawhiti kōrero pono te tīmatanga o te mahi ngātahi.
He painga ki te katoa
Ki te haumaru te hīkoi me te eke pahikara ki te kura, ka iti ake pea te maha o ngā motukā i te kūwaha. Ka pai ake te hau, ka kaha ake te tinana, ā, ka tūtaki anō ngā tāngata o te hapori.
Ka whai hua hoki ngā kaumātua, ngā tāngata hauā me ngā whānau whai pēpi i ngā ara mārama me ngā whitinga haumaru.
Te mana o te kaitūao
He nui te mahi a ngā kaitūao whakahaere whakawhiti. Ka mau rātou i ngā kākahu kitea, ka ārahi i ngā tamariki, ka whakatūpato i ngā kaitaraiwa. Me whakangungu, me tautoko, me whakamānawa rātou.
Engari kaua te haumaru katoa e utaina ki runga i a rātou. Me noho te rori hei hoa mō te hapori, kaua hei whakamātautau mō te māia.
He kupu mā tātou
Kia pōturi i ngā takiwā kura. Kia kaua e tū ki runga i te whitinga. Kia mataara ki ngā tamariki ka puta ohorere mai i waenga motukā. He mahi iti ēnei, engari ka tiaki oranga.
Ko te tino tohu o tētahi hapori manaaki, ko te āhua o tana tiaki i te hunga nohinohi. Kia haumaru te ara, kia tau te ngākau, kia pai te ako.
