Matariki Festival 2024 hosted by Paparore School

Today, Te Kura o Paparore hosted a vibrant Matariki Festival for our kura and hapori on the Peninsula!

Those who supported and attended the festival were treated with performances from the following kura: Ngataki & Te Hāpua, Pukenui, Waiharara, Awanui, and of course, Paparore.

It was a day filled with connection, whanaungatanga, sharing, waiata, and hapori celebrating the rising of Matariki together. The festivities culminated in a delicious hangi lovingly prepared by Paparore school, whānau members, and our wonderful Paparore community.

A big mihi to everyone who made this special occasion a success!

��‍♀️��‍♂️ What a day it was at the 2023 central zone cross-country event!

Hosted by Paparore School, schools within the central zone gathered at Johnny Jones farm, just a skip away from the Waiapapakauri ramp in the beautiful rohe of Ngāi Takoto.

Boys and girls gave their all in separate races, with age groups from 5 to 12 years old.

�� Congratulations to all the tamariki who gave their all to cross the finish line and to the top 10 placegetters aged 8 and up, who are now gearing up for the Far North Primary Schools inter-zone championships in Peria.

The sun was shining, but that brisk wind added an extra challenge. ��

Guiding the way, Tumuaki John 'Sir' Windleborn infused his signature warm-ups, drills, and straightforward instructions.

Witnessing the unity of whānau and hapori rallying together to support the tamariki who took part today was truly inspiring.

Cultivating Kaitiakitanga: Paparore School's Arbor Day Event at Lake Ngatu 2023

Today Paparore School's annual Arbor Day event at Lake Ngatu showcased their deep commitment to our environment. Year after year, they continue to plant native trees and plants, demonstrating their dedication as caretakers/kaitiaki of our taiao. With an impressive tally of approximately 40,000 trees planted since 1999, Paparore School is making a significant impact.

Working together with Ngāi Takoto Taiao Kaimahi, Summit Forest, and the Bushlands Trust, Paparore School undertook a big task today, planting over 1400 native trees. This effort perfectly aligns with the schools core values of Porihanga (community) and Kaitiakitanga (environmental stewardship) while enriching their local community curriculum.

Lake Ngatu holds immense significance within the community, and Paparore School wholeheartedly embraces the role of kaitiaki, or guardians, of this precious environment. The day's activities were made even more meaningful with the invaluable support of their whānau, including parents, siblings, and grandparents.

Through their continuous efforts, they inspire and empower future generations to manaaki and tiaki our natural environment, our taiao.

"Manaaki whenua, manaaki tangata, haere whakamua."

If we take care of the earth, if we take care of the people, we will take care of the future.

Keep up the amazing mahi Paparore ��
