Our Whakatauki

Whāia te iti kahurangi ki te tūohu koe me he maunga teitei.

Aim for the highest cloud so that if you miss it, you will hit a lofty mountain.

Iti Kahurangi celebrates Matariki



Ka puta Matariki ka rere Whānui.
Ko te tohu tēnā o te tau e!

Matariki reappears, Whānui starts its flight.
Being the sign of the new year!

Matariki, as the Maori New Year, is a special time for celebration, culture, remembrance and spirituality.  To celebrate Matariki, Iti Kahurangi decided to have a Whanau kai on Friday.  We began with a korero from Whaea Awhina and then our Kahurangi Kapa Haka tamariki performed some waiata for us.  Then we all got to enjoy our feast.  It was a great celebration and it was lovely to share it with some of our parents.  A special thanks to Whaea Awhina for organising the celebration for all of us!
