Te Piringa
Kia hiwa rā! Kia hiwa rā! He mihi kau atu ki a koutou ngā mātua, ngā kaitiaki, ngā whānau katoa o te hapori nei. Tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā tātau katoa.
E te Wāhi Ngaro, nāna nei te ao i whakairo. Kai te mihi.
Ka huri ngā whakaaro ki te hunga kua wehe atu i te tirohanga kanohi, whakaoti atu e! Waiho rātau ki a rātau, tātau ki a tātau. Kāti ake.
Ka noho a Te Piringa ki ngā waewae o Matairangi, torotoro atu ai ki ngā puna wai o Raukawa Moana, o Te Whanganui-a-Tara, o Waitangi, o Hauwai e rere mai nei. E mihi korenga mutu a Te Piringa ki a Te Āti Awa Taranaki-whānui ki Te Upoko o te Ika.
Nā Ahorangi Te Wharehuia Milroy, nō Ngāi Tūhoe, tō tātau ingoa, ā, nā Tā Tīmoti Kāretu, nō Ngāi Tūhoe, nō Ngāti Kahungunu hoki, ia i tono hai tapa mai i tō Te Piringa nei. He momo whakaruruhau a Te Piringa mō ngā ākonga Māori me ō rātau whānau e hiahia ana ki te eke panuku, eke Tangaroa! Heoi anō, nau mai rā, kake mai rā ki Te Piringa! Rarau mai.
The key strategic initiative currently in development is an Ākonga Māori Graduate Profile. This project aims to create a framework to support ākonga Māori to attain distinctly Māori attributes and skills (alongside those attributes and skills the school already offers). As well as aligning to those aspirations embedded in Te Tiriti o Waitangi, including working in partnership with whānau Māori, the profile will develop understanding of what Māori success by Māori for Māori looks like in the setting of Wellington College.
The Māori Graduate Profile will then sit centrally within the development of our Māori Strategic Plan which will replace the Māori Student Achievement Plan.
