Te Wiki o te Reo Maaori 2024

As we celebrate Te Wiki o te Reo Maaori 2024, aakonga (students) and kaiako (staff) will use te kiianga o te raa (phrase of the day) around the school. Keep an eye on social media for what they have to share.

At St Paul’s, we follow Waikato Tainui protocol and use double vowels instead of macrons.
