For the first time since being at Ara Tū Whakatā Gilberthorpe School, we added mihi whakatau to our school cultural responsive practice. My role in this was to support staff in knowing what would be taking place and what each part of the process was done for. I talked through what our whaikorero boys would or could say.
I approached one whānau to see if they would like to be involved with some of the main roles, however they were unable so we have made a bit of a plan to get some support in learning how to do the karanga and whaikōrero. For this I am hoping to get some support to have a workshop or some kind.
Another teacher and I performed the kaikaranga roles for this mihi whakatau and it would be awesome to build on this.
My next step: To support staff to become competent and confident in running mihi whakatau as an embedded and natural practice.
