They aim for all Māori learners to enjoy education success as Māori. What does that statement mean for your whānau? -A Māori worldview , ways of knowing and being are central to the teachings at CPDS. ( Māori normalised) -Māori values – worldview -tikanga is embedded into the ahua of CPDS -That non- Māori learner also are able to learn about what success as Māori truly ,means -A positive sense of Māori identity that is valued and recognised as unique -there is a commitment to dismantle institutional racism that historically and currently disempowers and fails our tamariki |
Raupo to read all comments and use all of this kōrero from Māori whānau to implement into Māori success plan |
| Design thinking with Māori students | Dev Singh is currently implementing a new initiative for Māori students called design thinking . | Students will be talking to Ngati whatua and identifying issues that they may have/see around Auckland- Dev and children will then research and come back, working with iwi to come up with a prototype to solve a problem. |

Other discussion notes: · Te Tiriti: teaching it through the 3 P’s rather than basics- that way students can connect more to it. A way that everyone can connect with. · Students have found something to belong to when they were unsure of their identity before. · Need to highlight what we are doing at CPDS to encourage belonging · Embedding tikanga Māori in your school is all part and parcel and where it all begins · Teachers: be an agent of change, upskill if possible, empower yourself so you can empower the kids. · Teach Hauora – well being through the model of Te Whare Tapa Wha |
Whaea Raupo to organise |
| Karakia whakamutunga | 8.20 pm – Matua Mike |
