Mai i te KaihautūMātahetahe ana a hane i te matihere komaingo noa ki ngā kura ka riro, ko koutou ēnā hei whakamaunga atu mā te hinengaro, mā te ngākau, mā te kanohi o ngā iwi, ko mātou ki ō koutou ataarangi. Nō reira, koutou kua wheturangitia ki te korowai o Ranginui, moe mai, moe mai, moe mai rā. Kāti, me huri te aroaro ki a tātou ngā kanohi ora, ngā mōrehu o rātou mā, tēnā koutou, tēnā koutou, tēnā rā tātou. E roa rawa hoki te wā tē taea e tātou te hui tahi a tīnana, ā, kāre e kore kua koropū ake ana ētehi kaupapa hei mea āta whiriwhiria e tātou. Tēnā, ko te tūmanako ā te marama kei te heke mai mā tātou tētehi hui topa e whakatū. Kia mārama kehokeho ai mātou o Te Māngai Pāho o koutou ake hiahia, māniania hoki. Hei te mutunga o te rā, ko te reo te take! Heoi anō, me mahi taupuhipuhi ai tātou kia whakarahi ai ā tātou putanga ā-reo. Mauriora! After more than eight weeks at Level 3 and 4 there is still no certainty as to when life will return to something approaching normality for our whānau in Tāmaki Makaurau. Last week the Funding Team reached out to those of you with active contracts to check how you were faring and we had a very good response. The team is digesting the feedback and following up where necessary, but please remember contact us if things change for you or if you have any questions. In the coming weeks we will facilitate an online wānanga so that we can both hear from our wider constituency and share our collective experiences. Kia haumaru ai te noho.
