Morena, whanau!

We've recently seen a concerning rise in vandalism at Kani Rangi Park.
Damage to signs, gates, and other facilities, reportedly involving bikes and groups of rangatahi. All of which is strictly unacceptable.
This kind of behavior is also why the gates or often kept closed. When shared spaces are not respected, it limits access for everyone in the community.

We encourage whaanau to have conversations with their young people about respect, responsibility, and caring for community spaces.

Let's work together to protect and respect Kani Rangi Park so it remains a safe and welcoming place for everyone.

Nga mihi,
Te roopu Taiao

E wawara nei

E wawara nei te tangi o te wai

I te ahoroa o Ohua
I te ngau o Hine Takurua
E wawara nei
E wawara nei
He waka tipua o te ao Māori, o te mātauranga Māori, o te reo Māori kua nunumi ki te pō, ko Tā Hirini Moko Mead, e 99 ōna tau, ka ngaro nei.

He rongonui a Tā Hirini mō te nui o āna mahi.

Koia tētahi i whakaporo ngoi i roto i ngā tau e whitu tekau neke atu, ki te whakarauora i te reo Māori, i te mātauranga Māori, kia eke ai ngā wawata o te iwi Māori p**a noa i te ao mātauranga, i te ao tōrangapū, i te ao whānui.

He pou mātauranga, he pou ako, he pou tuhi, he pou whiriwhiri kerēme anō hoki, ko āna mahi kua whakawātea i te ara mō te whanaketanga o ngā kaupapa Māori o ēnei rā. Nāna i ārahi te whakatūnga o te tari Māori ki Te Herenga Waka i Te Whanga nui a Tara, ā, i whai wāhi nui hoki ia ki te whakatūnga o Te Whare Wānanga o Awanuiārangi i Whakatāne.

Hai te ahiahi nei (5pm) te taniwha hikuroa ka tau ki tōna marae ki Kōkōhinau, ki reira ia takoto tīraha ai tae noa ki tōna whakauenukutanga, hei te Tūrei.

E Tā, e Koro
Me he pī anō koe ka rere
Hoatu ki a Kuia Hune
Ki a nunui mā, ki a roroa mā
I te awa nui o te rangi e tū iho nei
Whit! Whiti! E ao!

He pānui aituā tēnei, kua moe ngā kanohi o
