Kia Orana!

Cook Islands Language Week is being held from Sunday 30 July - Saturday 5 August 2023.

This year’s theme for ‘Epetoma o te reo Māori Kūki ‘Āirani – Cook Islands Language Week is 'Ātuitui’ia au ki te au peu o tōku kāinga Ipukarea, which means, "connect me to the traditions & culture of my homeland". For more information, please click HERE to check out the Ministry for Pasific Peoples website.

On Monday, students and staff will be learned the fine art of making an 'ei katu (a garland of flowers worn as a headpiece) and events will be took place throughout the week, in Mana Tangata, wiht cultural food and dances.

This event tied in nicely with our Fono evening, held on Wednesday 2 August at 6pm in Mana Tanagata. It was great to see so many of you there!
